I was Interesting and excited to read this book because I was raised in Pocatello. I really enjoyed the beginning of the book. The mention of my high school and serval rother local locations was so fun to read about. However I really go tired of the authors actions. He made one mistake after another and was given one chance after another. I would have preferred to hear more about his changed life. I felt sorry for his wife and daughters.
