This was Decembers book club book. And I found the book to be very refreshing and entertaining. I liked the book for three reasons.
First I was amazed when I went to buy the book at Barnes and Noble there was a Pet section for books like this. When I think of a Pet section I think of books on how to train your dog or cat. I don't think of self healing adventure books as something that is in a pet section. It was nice to get away from the usual fiction and mystery sections of the store.
Second I found myself having tears streaming down as I read some of the chapters. Tom was very open about his life and relationships with Atticus and his father.
Third it was a quality read. The book is not very long but I found myself taking a long time reading the book, because I wanted to picture every chapter in my head. Not just read as fast as I could to get to the next clue.
