One of my favourite memoirs! 
I really enjoyed the writing styles, pacing and structure. Having a quote from Margret Thatcher at the start of every chapter really made Barr's connection to her feel real and honest. The style made us feel like we were growing up with Barr. Each chapter felt like a milestone of Barr's life. Different themes felt touchy and reflective. All themes felt row but true and still reflective, you could tell Barr spend time reflecting on his life. This memoir deeply touched me for many reasons. The way people were written in felt so true to the age, I related to the teenager view on the world and on the people around us. The ending was wonderful, even perfect, touching and deep. I am overjoyed I have read this memoir, I have learnt so much about myself through reading this memoir. I am excited to pick this up again later in life when my experiences will bring even more insight.
