Three boys come of age in an abusive, slightly crazy household. The boys have an unquestionable love and regard for each other even as they fight and endure abuse and begin to ask the questions all boys ask.
You should read this book because it is simply very very fine writing. It is, in a nutshell, why we read: to discover lyrical passages, profound insights, concise metaphors, and description that can take your breath away.
You can read We the Animals in one sitting. You may want to re-read it just to experience the imagery and story again. The second to the last story/chapter is guaranteed to make you want to pick up a pen and tell your own true story.
