I like the triviality of the beginning of the book. I found myself asking, what is the point? But when the "point" finally hit me, it hit me all the harder. The childlike storytelling is in extreme contrast to the actual subject matter, and the fact that it takes Henry a while to "get it" as well is a wonderful representation of how the world "chose" to not get it either. This book is a MUST READ!!
