As a reader I had some difficulty with the repetitive sexually explicit details and felt there should have been warning about that. In his defense, I do think he wanted to tell his story as authentically as possible and in that vein, he did accomplish this authenticity.
The main issue I had related to his story structure. I believe a memoir has to show redemption and leave the reader with a sense of satisfaction that the hero has overcome the obstacles. While he paints a very vivid picture of the obstacles, the ending fell flat and abruptly for me. I knew he had survived but I wanted to know a little more about that experience.
This story is important in shedding light on the impact of childhood abandonment. I have to give it 3-stars due to multiple typos and what I felt as a reader to have an incomplete narrative arc. However, I would read other works by this author as I feel he possesses the ability to engage his reader and makes them want to know more.
