Today I finished reading the Depression-esque childhood journey novel focusing on Jim Glass growing up fatherless and in a time of change.
Let me begin by saying that I did enjoy this book. There doesn't seem to be a plot, but there doesn't have to be this one. It's a collection of stories from Jim's tenth birthday to his eleventh.
The one critical thing that I would have to say is that I did feel like, because there was no plot, there was no excitement and nothing engrossing the reader in the book. I felt like suddenly the book ended and there wasn't anything that made me worried or feel any emotion whatsoever. But that was only at the end of the book, for the rest of the book I found it as a light-hearted novel. It's an easy read and you could easily sit down and read it in a day if you wanted to.
