I loved the writing style in this book (if you don't mind side notes you will too). I really enjoyed this book until the last few chapters where the mystery was simply solved without any twists or turns. It was just "expected". However, if you look at this book in a different light, examining the character development of Eugene, his struggles and accomplishments, and how that impacts the family, it really is a great book. Does it have a happy ending, no not really. Is it extremely exciting and awing, also no. However, really thinking about the underlying themes in this book made it more enjoyable and entertaining for me.

Good book, didn't like protagonist much, didn't have much closure. Felt like core part of book was mostly ignored which doesn't make sense to me.
