like watching a train wreck. horrible, uninspired characters. I hated them all.
family 1
bored, self centered wife
downtrodden hubby who is much too good for her
sullen teenage daughter who needs a kick in the pants

family 2
morally lacking philanderer
his myopic, nasty wife, who is determined to push her kids to "do their best"
their 2 kids

"family" 3
an assorted groups of unemployed actors and a wife

a complete waste of time if you are looking for a book with likeable characters
