The writing and style was good..the plot and characters portrayed it very well..the story was very well written and he did an excellent job with keeping characters in sync..it wasn’t an easy book to get into..it was however funny..it had five great characters..one very pushy mother..who everything had to be her way or else..plenty of ups and downs..the father and mother splitting..kids living with different parents and then father ending up in hospital..it takes a lot of twists and turns in the book..with all the ups and downs things seem to move on and get better towards the end..the one thing that pops up a lot is the baseball glove..at the end it’s still around..the book was an ok read just not something I could really get into..
