An extremely well written tragic book. I didn't know what to expect going in, and am glad I persevered through the slow parts. I definitely had some name-blindness as so many characters were introduced at once, and the point of view changes from paragraph to paragraph. Overall, I'd recommend it. TRIGGER WARNING SPOILER: As a note, I didn't find any of the molestation to be graphic, which I was worried about.
Graphic: Child abuse, Murder
Moderate: Pedophilia, Sexual violence, Vomit, Police brutality, Trafficking, Alcohol

Amazing. It carried you through from start to finish and the hours go by without even realizing it. I want to read more of Dennis Lehane now. It was heartbreaking but not in a crying way. Intense and good.

I was B O R E D. The one thing that was actually enjoyable was how well the author describes people and their internal states, I will give it that. Other than that, this could not have been dragged out more. This book could have been half the size and I still would have been bored.
