I'm not 100% sure why Miv's chapters are in first person while everyone else's are in third person but overall I really enjoyed this book. Given the events were long before I was born it was very interesting to see what it was like back then. And some people I know who were old enough to remember the late 70s/early 80s confirmed it was accurate so good job to the author.
