The innocent, wholesome boy, the cocky teenager, the lost young-adult, the still searching middle-aged man, and the old man, finally somewhat resigned and trying to make sense of it all.
This book drew me in more and more the longer I read. It confirmed what I like most about books: characters you get to know and love, who feel real and evolve over time. And a larger story or feeling told through these characters.
