Important Things That Don't Matter: A Novel by David Amsden

allmadhere106's review against another edition

3.0

The unnamed main character gives an account of growing up with divorced parents who have their own set of problems. His father is an alcoholic and has problems with drug addiction, a combination that doesn't exactly give the protagonist an ideal childhood. The book is divided into sections that account for various times of his life starting when he was five. The voice is exceptionally strong and comes across through a stream of consciousness writing style.
