I love all the detail and world-building in this book! I wasn't prepared for how young the narrator is, though. For most of the book, he's a fourteen year old relating events from the past two years or so of his life. His voice is totally believable and funny, too, but he goes on lots of tangents and throws in tons of details. Which on one hand makes it more believable, but on the other, made it a bit tough to focus on. The underlying themes of family and motherly love were wonderful, but I did find myself skimming through it sometimes.
