This book was fantastic. I've read plenty of various peoples' memoirs, and his guy told his story in such a unique way. Wilker is great at conveying the attachment a child has to his or her favorite toys or collection, and he uses that attachment to tell the reader about his life, from childhood to marriage.

The chapters are short, which makes it extremely easy to say, "Oh, just one more chapter", which, in turn, makes it very easy to ready this book quickly.
