A review by coffeeandreads
Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue

3.0

Very quick read. I was torn between feeling sympathy for Mary and the need to put some sense into her head. I *might* have yelled at her a little. :) Coming from a different era and a completely different lifestyle, I don't know if I'll ever fully understand her motivation to do certain things. The fact is someone like her did exist and did what she did.

Overall, a pretty good book. It deserves a 3.5 rather than a 3.
