The writing is amazing throughout this book. The author makes the characters come alive as you read it.
It's true that the main character, Richard, does not censor anything much but as we are learning of his world and life from his point of view I don't see why he would have to.
I loved following him through the book and seeing how he sees the world.
There are parts where you really just want to give him a good slap upside the head to knock a little more sense into him but that seems to make him more real. He acts and goes through life in a way that you would not be surprised to see someone like that in real life.
He's not the only one, the other characters have life in them too. Some more than others but you learn so much about each character that it's wonderful to keep reading.
I'd recommend this book to anyone willing to share in Richard's adventure.
It's a quick read and it grabs at you on the first few pages.
