Fiction with a real punch

It is hard to believe that the reviewer for KIRKUS read the same novel I did. I found GOING UNDER to be powerful, moving, frequently funny, and ultimately positive. Luvass portrays the members of a dysfunctional family with compassion and insight. Each character is fully drawn and entirely credible. Terrible as their problems are, they ultimately manage to regain control of their lives. Those who admired Wally Lamb's best-selling novel SHE'S COME UNDONE will find GOING UNDER to be a richer, deeper, and more insightful study of the psycholigal problems that can damage essentially good people.

In the end he demonstrates the human capacity to regain control of our lives. Those who admired Wally Lamb's best-selling SHE'S COME UNDONE will find GOING UNDER to be richer, deeper, and more insightful study of the psychological problems that can damage essentially good people.
