Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-07 00:00:00 Luis Diaz Interesting idea for a novel... but not an interesting read. While I understand that the disjointed memories and lack of continuity was a storytelling device supposedly intended to reflect the confusion and vagueness of the narrator's life, it made for a choppy read. Hard to get through without many "gems" to make the journey worthwhile.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-09 00:00:00 Eric Ugalde I found the writing style hard to follow (characters appeared and disappeared sometimes without any closure to their role), but the topic was fascinating and I feel I gained from the perspective of a young man growing up in Indianapolis in the 1960s dealing with learning to become himself, race issues, and changing times. I picked it up originally because much of it took place locally, but I found I have not been here long enough to remember the places and events that are in the book. If you can handle the slightly disjointed writing style, this book contains a lot of wisdom.
