I could not even finish this book (only made it to Willie and Kate's wedding). I listened to the audio version of the book and this was probably worse because he sounds like a whiny petulant child. He blames all of his life's mistakes on everyone else. I can't gather up any sympathy for someone who had every opportunity in life and just threw it away. If anything I feel for the father for having to have dealt with his childish shenanigans.
