23. Just finished "The Family Fang" by Kevin Wilson

Jan 2012

Interesting book about two kids whose parents are performance artists and and constantly force the kids into their bizarre real world performances.

It becomes an intriguing mystery but then falls flat at the end by resolving the mystery in a rather simple, obvious manner and never quite unwraps all the tangled emotions in a fulfilling way.

Now I'm going to dig into FM 34-52 Intelligence Interrogation - Headquarters, Department of the Army

So I can pick up some tips on how to deal with teenagers.
