It's rather sad because when Robert's parents are killed, he talks about them a lot. Most of the book is when he's writing what he's been doing and how he feels in this for a phychiatrist he's been seeing but sometimes, he comes out to the present to talk about how he feels about his treatment. When he goes out to find his parents killers, it will surprise you how they were actually killed. The core was in the family and Robert does seem to believe it. The killer was.....nah, i ain't gonna tell you. It's really worth buying it.
