This story had me hooked from the start. You jump into the narrators world and are immediately immersed in his view, his take, on the people and scenes unfolding in his life. As the twists and turns play out and all the storylines (the story of his life) come together you realize you've just lived through a love story and a mystery and a scathing commentary on societal norms and everything in between. There were parts that I had to stop and reread because they were too good to only go over once. There were parts I had to read aloud, give voice to the passages and their brilliant commentary on how the current generations view the world that is being left to them.

Irreverent and philosophical.
This is a story about everyones' life and everyones' problems, played out from a depressive and sardonic point of view.
