Poignant, funny and occassionally brutal cast of characters in this coming of age account.

A combination of coming of age and life in retrospect, this is an engaging read. We can all relate to longing to fit in. J.R.'s formative years were as unusual as the true life characters that peopled it. Sort of a drinker's book club meets the lonely kid. Loved it and the final lesson it imparts.Read full review

Heartwarming and funny.

I read this book, which was recommended by an avid reader, several years ago and remembered feeling kind of sad when I finished it... like saying goodbye to an old buddy. So recently I read it again! Still have my copy, but purchased this one for a friend who love a good book.Read full review

Slow

The book was a bit slow and I never really got excited about reading it. In fact I did not even finish it. The writing was good and followed a logical sequence. It just never grabbed me.
