But not what the author intended. Just a family of dysfunctional individuals with so many problems it just became funny instead of poignant. The characters were very unlikeable. I just couldn’t care about them. There were lots of grammatical errors and other mistakes. For instance alcohol is a drug, the worst and most prolific. To say someone who drinks straight shots of whiskey is sober is stupid and when it’s a repeated it just becomes funny. Anyway the price was right.
