Crazy Sisters

After reading this week I have really started to notice just how weird and bizarre the two sisters are. For one thing they found it amusing that when their father died he dried up and weighed about 50 pounds. They joked about how he probably looked like one of the saints who don't decay. I'm so glad that I don't have any relatives like this, because I would be freaked out by the two of them. Another thing that I noticed is that their father was a geologist and study the land around Tuscon and while he had the girls he pointed out things about the land, I feel that this will somehow come back and have something to do with the rock snake of Sterling's tribe. As the book goes on, we have learned more about Zeta and Lecha, it has become clear that Lecha and Seese are very similar. Both of these women have drug problems, have some sort of problem with their babies, and were dependent on men at a younger age. Even though the twin sisters are supposed to be alike, I find them to be very different. Zeta to me seems like the nice and responsible sister, while Lecha is the twin who is care free, irresponsible and somewhat evil. This can be seen through the story of when Lecha leaves right after her son is born and Zeta is left to take care of a baby that isn't even hers. This book is full of messed up characters, I wonder if we will ever be introduced to one.
