emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad

4.75

It feels weird to rate someone's memoir but I want to give it many stars to counterbalance the deductions by other reviewers based on the book's structure.

The non-linear narrative was a clever and interesting choice. If it feels fragmented, that's exactly the point. It is also refreshingly different from the more typical year-by-year account. This is not a typical autobiography after all.

huntjr's review against another edition

5.0

I saw a few people hated that it was not chronological but the jumps made perfect sense. I don’t think the stories would be as impactful if they were in order.

The last chapter was the perfect place to end it, even if it was not recent.
