The plot revolves around the main family dying at beginning of the book (family includes 2 minors). The main family's oldest son is in prison for murder. One of the characters was in a serious car accident with resulting brain/mental injuries, the same character acts racist towards other characters.elhein's review against another edition

Beyond that, I didn't care about the characters at all. The main characters were boring, and the background characters felt cartoonish. Every time someone new was introduced, we got a chunk of description about who they were - what they look like, what their personality is, how they're connected to the MC. It was very telling, not showing. And this happened for everyone, no matter how unimportant they are.
There were also a lot of extrenuous detail and flashbacks that felt pointless. Maybe they were meant to be red herrings or to distract the reader, but it all felt unneeded. Very mild spoilers, example:
Characters: 4
