Moving for moments, reflective and introspective for moments, overall quite pleasant. I have a few... I wouldn't call them issues, per se. Maybe a few notes to take, especially on the last half. But it's a very recommendable book, a classic that is never boring but instead very honest and down to earth, which speaks the language that real people speak.
