The title makes nos sense, the story well crafted might interest writers but moves ever so slow and seems to go down hill all the way to the end. The most likeable characters seem those who die out early like his father. But the main character is a sad case of one with gifts that he never appreciated or acknowledged. This is a depressing story, a hard story to tell and the author is to be congratualted for being so skilled in telling it. But I wish I had spent the time reading something else beside a well told unredeeming tale.
