Sutton was a joy to read. The story telling devise was very interesting. Sutton is telling his life story to a reporter while visting significant locations from his life, then we also get more indepth stories that the reporter does not get.

The content of several scenes are difficult to read (Sutton received several severe beatings in his life), but otherwise, the progression of the story flows, and the love story drives the book forward.

The one problem I had with the book was the conclusion. It was very difficult to understand, and ultimately made the whole story unreliable. The denouement gives some explaination for the confusing conclusion, and while I understad how it all fits together, it was still disappointing, and an unfortunate way to end an otherwise wonderful book.
