We the Animals: A novel

I hated this book. Thought it was one of the worst books I have ever read. The only good thing was that it was short (124 pages). If it wasn't a book for my bookclub, I would have quit reading it. It is the story of 3 boys growing up in NY with a white mom and a Puerto Rican dad. I guess it was a coming of age story but I just kept thinking of Running with Scissors (which I also disliked). Each chapter was like it's own short story, didn't really connect to the other chapters. The story is told from the youngest brother's point of view (think he is 7). Thought the writing was poor and the story choppy.
