When Brian's Dad dies it sends both him and his brother off on wildly different paths. Brian has always been a thrill seeker but now he takes the drugs and drinking even further with his friends. On the other hand, his brother Douggie starts hearing voices and paranoia sets in. The group think nothing of experimenting with whatever they get their hands on, and trying out any adventure they can think of. They seem to go through their lives in a haze of drink and drugs.
Through the different points of view, you can see just how differently the characters see themselves and others. I liked reading the different characters, though I am not quite sure why some of them were included, particularly Beck.
I was surprised at how emotional I felt reading some parts of the book. It's not all wild rides as it may seem at first, there are genuine relationships and friendships. As the story progresses, the characters grow and mature, friendships change and family bonds get as complicated as they can.
