Conclusion to Becca's story

In the conclusion to her story about Becca of Wiserways, Ms. Freisner made a choppier book than the first one. The city, which we all knew would not be the "Oz" like miracle place that Becca expected it to be, was never fully explored. The supporting characters were almost painful to read about, whorebabies and homosexual "abominations" took the brunt of the abuse. Becca's behavior is also confusing and even when the story resolved itself in the end, I was still left with a sense of "Is that all there is?" I still enjoyed the read though, Becca had captured my imagination and I suppose that with that Ms. Ester Freisner did what she was supposed to do. Read this to finish off a very uncomfortable but believable view of what our society could one day devolve into.
