Beautiful writing, painful story. If I have one doubt, it's the structure, which begins with Shuggie's present life and then jumps back to his earlier life. That approach undercuts the suspense somewhat, as it telegraphs part of the plot. Nonetheless, the ending is fantastic. Don't give up on the book.
