This was an incredibly nostalgic read for me. Having grown up in a rural part of the Midwest, many of the beautifully-illustrated scenes struck a chord with me, especially those about his faith growing up. I would have liked to have seen a few loose ends tied up more succinctly, especially his transition out of faith, but it was overall a wonderful, thought-provoking read. And as for the art, his use of white space really makes the illustrations *work* and gives a wintery feel that would be hard to capture otherwise.
