Wow, this book was different and wonderful. I couldn't put it down. The main actor of the book brings you through highs and lows via a steady narrative that instantly draws you in. I started off convinced he was insane, and midway, felt the opposite - that his experiences made for a logical and gritty wisdom. Then my opinion changed again. I love that there are still questions about some aspects of this story. It's a good writer who can skilfully leave some mystery to the story.
