Another difficult to rate.
There were bits I liked. Bits I liked a lot. The magical. The understanding... Karen moves with ease between all kinds of people... I find her people believable.
Then there were bits I didn't like. Like 12 years old having sex.
The culture shock of the first story, about the alligator farm. Or, what culture. People have been pushed so far out from the society they don't have any culture, any traditions beyond two generations, any memories or ancestors, any connection with anything... it's horrifying.
The bullies.
But I suppose, all in all, it is amazing. It got a reaction out of me. I responded emotionally, strongly. It was easy to read.
