This book is not typical. It's pretty good, and moving sometimes. Although the
style (screenplay) may take a while to get used to, it flows well.

Great submitted by manz on May 10, 2021, 3:07pm After over a decade of having this on my to-read list, I finally read it, and screamed "why didn't I read this sooner?!" It's a great book. I was totally drawn to the movie-script format it was written in. The format really added a lot to the plot, and you really get to feel/see what Steve is feeling/seeing. Read it!
