I've read about 4 or 5 chapters and yes, he has a distinct writing style, that's for sure. I'm finding the book a little depressing because (and this is just my guess) he had such a terrible relationship with his Daddy, and I didn't...and I just lost my Daddy in May, and well, darn it...it makes me sad. So...the whole poverty level thing he lived (which was close to our own) makes me sad I guess...His writing is excellent, don't get me wrong...I'm just hoping it "lifts" a little.

Anybody else get that feeling?
