Fun Home 1

I wasn't too sure what to expect when I bought the book, when I opened the book I was surprised to see a comic book like format. I wasn't sure if it would stay that way throughout the whole book so I flipped through the pages to see that I should expect this style throughout the whole book.  I found the book a little difficult to read at times.  I forgot my dictionary at school (joke) so I had a little trouble understanding some of the words.  I also found the book to be kind of funny. I liked the little box when the son and the dad talk about the curtains for his room.  So far I'm not a fan of the father in this story.  He is too anal for my liking, I also don't like the tone he uses with his children. It seems to always be his way or the highway.  I'm not sure if I am reading it the right way but he seems physically abusive as well so that was a big turnoff in regards to his character. 'I grew to resent the way my father treated his furniture like children, and his children like furniture,' I think that the father has some serious issues. Growing up something must have gone terribly wrong for him to be such a perfectionist in one aspect of his life and not others.  All he cares about is his house being perfect but he doesn't care about being perfect for his children.  He seems to be all about the material. What I've managed to read of this book so far has me quite confused.  There is mention of the father having sex with young boys but it was only mentioned once and not again, so it makes me wonder if it really happened or not or it the kids are just being overdramatic about things.  I look forward to reading more and decoding this mysterious but interesting book.
