I didn't expect this to be written as a letter from a father to his son, but that, combined with hearing it in the author's voice as an audiobook made for a very powerful read. Coates' voice feels honest and real, while addressing incredibly challenging and personal topics. This is a great read, particularly as an audiobook.
