Hmmm.. what can I say about "Bastard out of Carolina"... It was very interesting to say the least. What else? Well, to be honest I found this book to be pretty disturbing. I coudn't really get involved in the story of characters. It was like reading about something that you have no insight into and therefor cannot relate to. The part where they eat saltine crackers with katchep was really horrible. This book was yet another depressing one. I did not mind the style of the novel, but the story left me cold.
