3.25 stars

This was a pretty moving, slightly disturbing, and overall heartwarming book. I do not understand all the descriptions, blurbs, reviews, etc. calling it “comic” or “funny.” Did not see that at all. You've got one seriously messed up guy coming to grips with his breakdown, the events that have transpired in his/his family's/everyone's life following that, and his early bumbling (and they'd have to be) steps to put his life back together. Gripping read, yes. But funny? No.

Too much importance given to the eagles plot and I feel like there was no closure for his father's issues. Also maybe Pat's ilness could be discussed more and could have unfolded earlier and better. But it was a good read
