Honestly it started out interesting. Very Royal Tenenbaums-ish with the oddball family working at a theme park in the Florida Everglades. The patriarch vanishes on a unspecified business trip, the son runs away to make money, and the two daughters end up with their own problems. The eldest starts dating a ghost and the youngest, at thirteen, sort of ends up running the place. Then nothing happens for awhile until out of nowhere something really shocking and upsetting, with no real consequences or address of any kind, happens. Then still nothing happens. There are parts that are very well written but the book just goes on too long. And there just seems to be no consequences or sense in much of what takes place either.
