This could easily be described in just two words: good vocab.

A great read, with lots of amusing (to my – the passive reader’s – eyes) little tales and analogies of things that happened, and raises some excellent arguments based on his experiences whilst growing up.
Extremely interesting, light-hearted at times, thought provoking at others, everything you could want in an autobiography, even if it does only cover his first 20 years.
I will definitely seek out his other titles.

Thanks should go to Ed who left this with us a few weeks ago.
