Just finished reading My First Sony and here is my review:
For those of us who loved reading 'Catcher in the Rye' here is a wonderful story delivered in the same vein: through the voice of a young, sensitive child, whose sentences run into each other with barely a stop, because he is not only the witness of the disintegration of his family, but is tested to the limit by it. This intense flow is cut off at the very end, because the protagonist finds himself at a loss of words at the last twist of the story. So will you.
His father, whom he adores despite his many vices, gives him a tape recorder, which the author uses as a literary device to capture the voice and breath patterns of the other characters.
I simply loved this story, and thought that the voice was profoundly authentic.

Five stars.
