5.0

I think this is my second time to read a book with this kind of format, but oh, it was so beautifully written. It reads like a memoir...a father addressing his son and giving toasts to five important people in his life

just before his death.

But the way it is written captures you as you learn more about his childhood, his adventures while growing up, his struggles and challenges and more.
