I've been wanting to read this for ages, and was spurred to do so with Uncle Jack's death a few days ago. I listened to the audiobook too, which he narrates, and makes the overall experience so much more personalised. They didn't edit anything, when he pauses, repeats a word or sentence, when he laughs, gets passionate, gets sad, it's all there, like he's in the room with you.
What an incredible person he was, and I've gained so much more respect for him through this book. I hope he's having the absolute best time in the Dreaming, he deserves it.
