Far to much fiction, and it was very tedious in places. When you break it down much of it was family life as per millions of households. But funny in places. Anyone who thinks there is a lot of fact surrounding actual events and this is history, need to research first. Reminded me a Jeffrey Arthur book I once read in the middle, it appeared the writer ran out of ideas and waffled on a bit. Would I recommend? To be honest you need to make up your own mind about spending the money. This book is designed to feed in the very emotional, but at the end of the day, Harry is using this book to justify much of what he thinks is a miss spent youth. If you are a critical thinker then, I doubt you will be raving about this book.
