I really enjoyed meeting most of the characters in this book.  They were so real that if I ever get to Glasgow I am afraid I will find myself hoping to run into one or more of them!At times this book did seem to move a bit slow, but it was told so well with bits of humor scattered everywhere I had no problems staying with it.  Jim was such an honest teller of his own tale, it was like hearing it straight from an old friend over a pint.  Didn't like the love of his life all that well, Paula seemed sort of superficial and self centered for one who inspired such never ending friendship from everyone she ever met.The supporting characters were well drawn and left me wanting to read their own stories.  When the "extras" rise above their bit parts you know you are reading a well thought out book--this was one of those books.
