rlambertdo's review
2.0
I give it 2 stars because it held my interest for the first 100 pages. I found this book largely self-serving and boggy.
I like memoirs. If you like memoirs, read [b:This Boy's Life|11466|This Boy's Life|Tobias Wolff|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166476868s/11466.jpg|1559134], by [a:Tobias Wolff|7371|Tobias Wolff|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1212762477p2/7371.jpg].

[b:Glass Castle|7445|The Glass Castle|Jeannette Walls|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165613865s/7445.jpg|2944133] is a great one, by [a:Jeanette Walls|4993162|jeanette walls|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. If you have enjoyed anything by either Andre Dubus (father or son), then I highly recommend [b:Townie|8248617|Townie A Memoir|Andre Dubus III|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1297996475s/8248617.jpg|13096244], by [a:Andre Dubus III|9785|Andre Dubus III|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1285347162p2/9785.jpg].
