Dear Sarah, I thought your book was interesting in the sense that it was fact. It was an account of your chapters in your life. Your likes as well as dislikes of certain things. I like the fact that you used your sarcastic witty side. To acknowledge your true being and not throwing action upon your stories to comform to other authors. Also I like the fact that you dwelled on your religion. trying to study and understand the things you didnt understand but still continue to seek. that you found your religion through everyday activity. Such as reading your newspaper and drinking your holy coffee.
I like how you showed your obsession for the Godfather movie and followed Frank Sinatra's life. Informing your readers of how deep you thought of certain scenes such as Clemenza's famous words of "Leave the gun, Take the Cannoli" your love for his command with the lack of ambiguity. And how you wanted the experience a real cannoli. So you tracked down a bakery and bought your first. Agreeing with Clamenza: Leave the gun! Take the Cannoli!
Also your admiration for Frank Sinatra. To wonder where your favorite artists comes from. The reason behind some of his songs. How in his life decisions he came to being one of historys famous artists.
I loved the fact that you battled with finding your identity. More so that you werent afraid to announce that you didnt share the same things as others your age. That you chose to research your true background and understand your role. Battling that you disapproved of what Andrew Jackson did to the Cherokee tribe, but the fact is Jackson is your people too.
Another a reason I was interested in your book is because you decided to step out the box. Being twenty-eight and taking on the challenge of learning to drive. That you admitted to being afraid of driving. You stepped forward a took a advantage in leanring but you found an amusement in going through the drive-thru. Sharing a story of how your father thought of drive-thrus making him nervous so avoiding them as much as possible. that you and your sister Amy thought of drive-thrus as an object of desire, full thrills that were denied for so long. Linking your learning to drive with the thrill of fast food was an advantage for you.
Overall I liked the book. Like I stated it was about you and your adventures throughout your life. You didnt hold back what you thought and thats what made it interesting.
