Query: Brutal book: dysfunction is not to be celebrated

This book is bad on so many levels. Each member of this family is self centered and evil. None of them take responsibility for their actions, and the christmas climax made me hurt.There is no resolution to this story...no one is redeemed at all...not one character has sympathy or empathy for the others.It is NOT the American way to hate your parents, siblings, lovers, spouses. This book seems to esteem hatred of those you are suppossed to love.I hated it.
