This was a raw, emotional, stream-of-conciousness-style reflection of the title character's whole life to this point, set during a week long journey to raise the funds to get back home, instead of in chronological order.
The narrator, Jonny will sometimes leave the present to reminisce or remember related stories from his past. It occasionally happens mid-sentence and was sometimes hard to follow in audio. I'm sure this is less of an issue in the hard copy.
