This book's title is a misnomer... Mostly Happy? Mostly Abuse would be a better title.
The story jumps mostly from one incident (of sexual and or physical abuse) to another in Bean's life. I did not like it because of the subject matter, the constant cycle of pain or the fact that it suggests only lower levels of society are capable of abuse. That said, it pretty much tells the truth of abuse and how it is passed down from generation to generation and depicts the fact that many endure instead of run. Sad.

I disagree.
This book focuses on SO much more than just abuse, and in no way does it suggest that only lower class families suffer from it. I haven't finished, but I'm well into it, and I know the meaning is deeper than that.
