A bit overwritten and I didn't enjoy the fragmented writing style---kind of felt like he had so little to say on each subject or remembered so little about each event that he had to use many together to make a chapter, jumping from one to the next and all interspersed with history or other factual tidbits, and rarely did the conjoined subjects feel particularly cohesive. The book starts and ends with tearjerkers, and everything in between is a blur. But it was well-intentioned, with a respectably self-aware narrator, and reasonably interesting at times.
