I'd like to say that I find the style and narration of this book pure magic. I read it so fast and I can't deny that it was an utterly magical masterpiece... still, it didn't hit me fully where it should have. I don't know I found many of the most «shocking scenes» quite done for the shock value and lacking any true meaning and although I do love tales about disgusting girlhood in this case it didn't hit me as I thought I was promised. I think it was mostly a case of exceeding expectation as this had been publicized to me as the next 'My Brilliant Friend'
