This is one of my favorite memoirs I ever read. It is beautifully written. It is like Fitzgerald, where the words just sound lovely together, and every phrase falls together right in syncopated rhythm. It's a melancholy book, where the words signal you to slow down, savor, pay attention, this is important. There are no histrionics in this book, no one who seems to be the victim. It is a book that say, "Let me tell you a story. I want to let you know what happened to me." It's a book I read quite quickly, although I never wanted it to end. It's a book where I marveled at the writing. I. It's a book where when I went to see the film adaptation, I was disappointed, because there was no way that a film could capture the language on the page. It's a book that I think could teach a lot about writing.
