Review: Realistic Coming of Age Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 7, 2014
It's hard to say what I was expecting, because this book was a pleasant surprise all around. It's a bildungsroman, a coming of age story, about a young man and his dreams and the harshness of the real world. The thing that kept me riveted was the little details that seemed drawn from life. The first-person narration made this story feel very intimate. It may be fiction, but it feels very personal. You really feel for the protagonist through all of the rough twists and turns of his life. Highly recommended!
