I'm giving this book four stars, partly because I don't want to be accused of being the author's sock puppet, after all the gushing reviews I've given him elsewhere, and partly because it's very clear that it's an earlier work and it would detract from his later works if I rated it on a par with them - 2032 is in a league apart. However, what I liked best about it was its lovely rawness. It wasn't as polished as his current work, but it was so honest and open; you just immediately warmed to Sonell and jumped into his world. It's the sort of book to curl up with on a rainy Sunday afternoon and just forget your own life for a few hours. Now I want to know which bits are autobiographical!
