Beautiful and honest reflection on childhood, all those quirks and experiences which form a person. Author has a unique voice. Messages are at times a little too obvious (which makes the narrator even more endearing). Climax somewhere in the 200s and slows down at the end. Themes of memory, family/tradition, flaws, and Christianity.
