This was a great read. I like the way it is written in a first person style as if the character, Kieran is narrating his life. What really makes it work for me is the self-depreciating manner in which the story unfolds. Makes it so human and real. You don't know whether to laugh or cry, it's that funny. Almost makes you wonder if it is fiction or a true recounting of one's life in the disguise of fiction. Either way, it a fun ride as the reality of it is, this stuff really does happen to us.I think on a deeper level what makes reading this book so enduring is there has been some point in all of our life's where we can relate to something this book. I know, without admitting it, there are a few stories in here that I have experienced. Now, looking back, even though you still cringed, you can't keep from laughing.  The story with Kerry, that kind of reminded me of the TV show, "Wonder Years" with Wendy. Just too funny.I appreciate the self-depreciating style and honesty of the book. A very refreshing read that is firmly planted in the real world.  A treatise of true introspective reflection.
