``He is discontented with his family situation and his family life and he is very angry at his situation in life. Because this is such an excellent book, I recommend it also for some junior high readers, but have to point out that Noreen is pregnant, after all, and there is frank talk of sex, there is obscenity (Noreen is very angry and she frequently curses), and generally, this is a demanding work of fiction with the characters who aren't teenagers developed by Brooks as fully as she develops the character of Noreen, the adolescent.
