Worst book I've read in a while. This is four hundred and some pages of senseless rambling about nothing with a skeletal plot interspersed. Cut out the crap and you have about 50 pages of story which is not a very interesting one.

The book is wonderful expression of loss but I could have done without much of the last hundred pages.

A little disjointed, but I guess that's part of the beauty of it. Personally, I thought some of the "Hey! Check it out! This is a novel and I'm being self-conscious" elements were really kind of bothersome, but mostly I thought it was really engaging if only because I would sometimes stay up an hour or two after I should have gone to sleep. Also, any book that can make me laugh out loud is usually a winner. The part where Dave talks about addressing gifts to Toph at Christmas caused what might be the most uproarious laughter I've ever undergone while reading a book. I read it over. I read it out loud to Jenny, and laughed continuously for a good six or seven minutes. Overall, I prefer "You Shall Know Our Velocity" and I don't think I love this book as much as everyone else I know does, but I really really liked it a lot.

This book is exactly what the title says. The author's story of raising his kid brother by himself after both his parents die. He writes with such wit and sensitivity even about the most difficult situations. He's good. I recommend it highly.
