This book is heart-wrenching. It will make you despair about the way we're headed as a society. I think it veers close towards poverty-porn on several occasions (is it possible to romanticize poverty?). However, the main thrust is on human relations and the hope/desire for survival. The ending really jarred me and it took me a good two weeks to even stop thinking about it all the time.
