“Whenever someone asks me what my favorite book is, I always say this one. It is, for sure, my favorite non-fiction/memoir not only because the story is so endearing, but the writing style is fantastic, and Chris Chester is really quite brilliant. He backs up a lot of the story with interesting facts and perfect word choices. After reading it, I was compelled to do research on him...he was that intriguing as a writer and the story of his relationship between him and his pet bird was so beautiful. The story has stuck with me for a very long time. A truly lovely story with incredible writing...what else do you need? It will make you cry.”
