I also read this book last year because somebody recommended it to me in the "Book recommedation megathread" in response to my request of more books/authors like Vonnegut and Catch-22*. I enjoyed it although I didn't like any of the characters. With this I mean that although they characters have some personality and/or are good caricatures (the kids a bit too sassy/smart maybe) I didn't feel any attachment to them and didn't care what happened in their life. Maybe because the family situation and conversations felt too alien to me, I don't know. I enjoyed it nevertheless, but it isn't a book I'd actively recommend. *) I also got recommended Family Fang (which was very very good until midway when the author decided the book had to have some plot besides cool anecdotes and then it was pretty bad), How To Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe (which I didn't like), God is Dead (haven't read it) and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (which I haven't read despite really liking the premise).
