There are some slower parts in the book, but gosh this book is so inspiring, amazing, and sad. It is an emotional roller coaster where you will root for the MC throughout the book. Beautiful ending.

The beginning was quite slow for me and there's a couple of spots with a dog that are just not fun--one of which is absolutely gutting--but I learned a lot and holy crap how impressive is it that he did all that just on his own? Plus, of course, lots of library love because access to books there, even old discarded textbooks, allowed him to learn about something he was curious about while he couldn't afford to go to school. I'm really curious where and what he is up to now.
