The prose in this novel is very simple and practical and that makes it punch all the harder for me. I did not struggle to get through it at any point and was interested in the plot and characters at every point. I flet that Yale and his friends were well fleshed out characters that I could connect to. The best review I have is that it made me cry and I'll probably think about it often.
