The book goes back to the history of his grandparents and lists every detail of their lives then he arrives at his birth where he goes into details of his parents lives. Finally arriving at the point of the book his own sexual discovery and with only two chapters left the book is a let down. The history lessons in the story are interesting but over all the main story line fails to appear until the end and then it seems unfinished.
