i enjoyed the book and loved the characters but I was a bit put off by the way what alfie went through and how he coped was tossed aside for the furthering of the other characters' plot? he had, arguably, some of the worst most tragic demeaning things happen and the whole time he was called names and unmotivated just because he was obviously affected by them.
