   Is Mama a good book?

   • The story was interesting enough to keep me reading, however, the style of writing gave no definitive climax. This made the book seem to drag on. Mama is reminiscent of so many mothers -- me included. Characters came to life and are memorable. It feels like they're family - I wanna scold them and root for them at the same time.

   Did the new'mama' get her start?
