I could have done without some of the "prose" and "fancy writing" *laugh* but the story is fascinating. He never comes out and gives a word to the mental illness his father surely has, and to me, he didn't come out as being very sympathetic to his father either. But. I thought about it for a while after I finished this. Would I? Would I be sympathetic to a man I hardly knew who ranted and raved randomly? I finished this a few days ago and I'm not sure if I liked the book. It was well written, but it left me feeling very empty, unresolved. I cannot find the line in the book, but the author says something about the book his father was to write and that perhaps HE is writing the book for his father, I found that interesting because while the author is not homeless, he seems to be as lost and falling into bad habits as his father did, the addictive personalities of families.

Oh, I don't know. Anyone else out there read it? I'm just not sure what I thought of this at the end of the day. Read the Q&A with the author in the back too... that was interesting as well.
