It was a wholesome read. I adored the narrator of the story, Jack, so much. His mannerisms, habits, and personality really reflected the concept of being childlike as a twelve-year-old yet honest to the core, which made it agreeable as if the reader was the one taking on the journey, listening to Joseph's life story. It's the type of book that's good for kids but shouldn't be taken literally. It needs to be looked at in an in-depth manner of what the message it wishes to convey is a stroke of responsibility and living beyond the norms, as we cannot control changes that may happen at anytime in our lives.
