Reginald Weldon is 102 an in the Angel ward in a section of the hospital where people go to die. He has decided to start recording the evens in his life. It starts with him loosing his parents at an early age and being bounced around between different relatives. Because Reginald was such an angry child, he didn't stay long at each relative. But he found a home which doesn't last long when he is a witness to the murder of his uncle. The murderers capture him and try to sell him into the slave trade in early 1900's England.Reginald manages to escape and live off the street for a while. He then gets caught stealing and sent to prison. But since it is during World War I, he is selected to be shipped off to the war even though he is only 15. At war he experienced a paranormal event, is wounded, and then gets send to help out in a hospital area until another odd event takes place. While there, Reginald makes a friend and they return to England to start up a cigar store and bar. But Reginald and his friend find women that catch their attention and slowly start to drift apart. But when Regional's wife disappears, things go down the pot.I really liked this story. I enjoyed how Reginald managed to survive when everything was always stacked against him. Even when he is shipped away to the war, he managed to squeak by. Then he meets his wife and everything revolves around her. The thing that bothered me is that the story had such great flow. Then it gets to his wife and starts stuttering until it ends with a feeling of incompleteness. Now, there could be another story linked to this. If that is the case, I feel that would be a great way to end the story. If not, then it leaves everything hanging in midair and feeling uncompleted.Beyond that, this was a really good story. I recommend it to anyone. You have the older guy recounting his life but odd paranormal occurrences that keep you on your toes. I don't this you will be disappointed in this story.I received this book for free from the Library Thing Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review.
