A memoir of this type is typically full of raw emotion and introspection, often creating a moving and powerful experience for the reader. This book had more than its share of emotion, but never managed to make a relevant connection with me. The otherwise excellent narrative tended to lose me when the author often paused to reflect.
I would make a number of other comments about this book, but after reading a draft review I realized that my other comments sounded insensitive considering the subject. As such, I will just leave it by saying this wasn't for me.
