Yeah I suppose that's true, but I feel like at least they were adults and able to care for themselves with regards to money and having their own place or whatever, for Augusten he had no choice, his mother wanted to dump him and he was dumped. I agree she was sick, but she was well enough to have Dorothy around constantly, so I think it is just selfishness.

Moon. Glorious moon. Jeff Lindsay - Darkly Dreaming Dexter

I'm about to become a serial killer that only kills bad guys. Did I mention I'm a forensic officer for Miami Police?

Upcoming Dexterette signing in! I'm going to be starting the first book later tonight, but I'm already a fan of the tv show, so I'm positive I'm going to love the books too

I just think his mother was completely and utterly selfish, everything was about her, or twisted to be about her. To be honest, it's completely beyond me why she ever had children, maybe only to have someone to give her attention all the time, because that's how it seemed to be, that she needed constant attention about how brave and great and fantastic she and her poetry was. It's no wonder Augusten's estranged from her, and in all honesty I think that's the best thing he could have ever done, because people like that don't change, and it's just unhealthy to be subjected to that kind of treatment constantly. One thing I found incredibly disturbing in this book is the lack of parental regard to sex. For example, when Augusten walks in on his mother and the priest's wife, and she didn't care at all, and then when the mother brought the (polish?) guy back from the mental hospital with her, he slept with the mother, the mother's girlfriend (dorothy?) and then with Natalie too, and none of them used protection as they all got the infection after, very nasty! And then there's the relationship with Augusten and Neil, Natalie and her 'adopted father' and Dr. Finch and his many 'wives'. Who on earth does these kinds of things, and why would you ever encourage your children into sex at 13 or whatever, it's mind boggling!

Haha, you are such a tease!

Hahaha, not anymore! Well there are like 2 left that it could be...

I'm gonna guess Mercy, as it's the only one left that I don't have

Ooo! I hope you enjoy it!

Me too Chesil I might treat myself to it in the next couple of weeks if I can wangle some spare cash, I have 4 family birthdays in the next 2 weeks though, nightmare!

Jane Rizzoli, pretty much because I don't read many detective books I'm sure it'll change to Lincoln Rhyme soon though, as soon as I start reading the books because I love the character in The Bone Collector film

Ooo Gyre gave me this too read a few weeks ago, it looks really good

Me too, I think I know what it is

I've read The Shadow Of The Wind and loved it, can't wait to read this one! Do you need to re-read Shadow, or is it all different characters?

I'm not that far in yet, but it seems pretty good

Great!

Yay, so glad you're enjoying this series Charm!
