“While many find this book to be a life-changer for the coming of age set; I found the voice and the ideals to be laced with arrogance. The writing itself is clear and strong. The characters are complex. Yet the protagonist for me was a complete anti-hero with misplaced perspective of himself, the world, relationships and personal responsibility. While the nature of the book is contemplative and connects with some, for me the arrogance of the narration was distancing, off putting and and at times angering. ”
