dark emotional funny hopeful reflective slow-paced

3.75

You can't really put a rating on someone's life or perspective of their life. But you can on the execution. This memoir is littered with literary references, sometimes to a fault, but I enjoyed most of them anyway. However, it also got a bit convoluted due to this. Overall, though, I enjoyed it, and I believe the rating may be higher if I read it a second time in the future.

emotional funny reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

A strangely domestic, disarmingly frank piece that manages to be narratively inventive without sacrificing a bit of authenticity to contrivance. What are you supposed to say when you're late to a classic?
