This book succeeds very well as a modern fable. There are wonderful, if broadly drawn, characters - almost caricatures. The message of wasted potential is powerful. There are characters to love, but none to hate. HOWEVER: What was up with the epilogue? I can't figure out …more why it was there. [edited to remove plot spoiler].(less)
