hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

For a non-fiction book, this kept my attention surprisingly well. King's writing style is sarcastic and funny, and it's quite the juxtaposition to the heavy content of this book. I did find myself crying at the end just a little, but this book isn't meant to be lighthearted and fun.
