So sad. This book was heartbreaking.

Shuggie. Won’t forget Shuggie and Agnes. Vivid storytelling and immersive language. A book that will give you pause and force you to reflect on life’s fortunes and misfortunes.

Amazing, but sad, read!!. Donald Stuart is a gifted writer,

Sadness I couldn’t put down. A story of the results of national greed, Thatcher polices in the United Kingdom bring the demise of jobs and the hopelessness to the nation. The US is a decade behind but the stories are the same. Families destroyed by drink, children harmed by parental loss. Snuggie is the tender caretaker of his mother, that story is what kept me going.

Shuggie Bain. This is a love story of one little boy for his broken mother. Shuggie is just a child, trying valiantly to protect his mother from the alcohol that is destroying their lives. At the same time he struggles with the homosexuality that has inhabited him at an early age. Shuggie Bain is a book for anyone who has a heart.

Shuggie Bain. Wow - this was such a sad story to read, but a familiar one to too many families struggling with addiction and those dysfunctional behaviors that characterize it and the resulting misery, poverty, hunger, helplessness, and hopelessness that follow. In the end, we are only responsible for ourselves, and should never allow shame, fear, or guilt to take away our faith or happiness. And as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “no one can make you feel inferior” ( or shame, guilt, etc per me) “without your consent.” If this book hits home, AA, Al Anon, rehabilitation, and therapy are just phone calls or internet searches away. Based on personal experience, all help immensely! Congratulations to this author for expressing the severe pain and extreme sadness many of us have felt but could not put into words. Heartbreaking but there is hope.

No idea what the brouhaha is about. Depressing. Hopeless. Profoundly forgettable. I should know better than to trust what the masses say about a book; but I obviously haven’t learned. So cut through all of the noise about this book and save yourself the time and frustration of trying to figure out what the heck everyone is going on about. You’ll thank me if you do and join me in wondering what the heck if you don’t.

Very tough. Tough depressing realistic book. If you’re from an alcoholic family you could tell a similar story- I know I can. The writing is unique but this was too familiar to me and I had to push through it.

Did not enjoy. This book felt like torture to get through. It was sooo long and boring.

Writing. Such great writing. Very vividly written.

Great read. Put me in mind of Faulkner. Would love to see this produced as a play.

One of the best. I was drawn in with the first paragraph. A dark novel that is wonderfully written.

Shuggie Bain. Profoundly moving book and very hard to put down. I read it using iBooks and was glad for the ability to reach over in the middle of the night to check in on poor Shuggie. Closing the last page today, I feel like I have lived another life. My world is bigger and I am a more empathic person today than I was 2 weeks ago.
