I really didn't care for this. It gets 3 stars for the premise which is an intriguing idea, and for some emotive writing. Otherwise I found both the tone and the journey of the central character irritating and charmless. If it had been about an 18 year old it might have been touching, but for a 30 year old to be so self-absorbed and immature made him unsympathetic and hard to relate to.
