It's one of those books wherein I have sympathy for the villain. I grew attached to him and hoped his family could make it work. The book does touch on child death, grief, and animal death; so if those topics are too sensitive for you, you may want to steer clear of it. It's a really original story taking place in both Mexico and the U.S., and I think most horror fans will like it.
