I enjoy reading the book. It is quite relatable as it captures almost all the shades of one's life, in general. With the ideas expressed so clearly and candidly, there is so much attention to detail. Though the writer mentions his mental disorder with grief at several places, the content is not all gloom. The writer knows how to change your mood. He beautifully takes you away from those sad accounts to playful digressions. A must-read for all!
It's quite an insightful yet entertaining memoir despite being shaded with the writer's trauma related to his mental illness, the memoir attempts at covering the pain with hope, strength, and pleasing moments that happened in different phases of his own life as well as in even those of his great grandparents. The language is very clear, simple, and easy for everyone to read and comprehend.
