I enjoyed some of the stories of him as a kid, especially the Christian stuff, less so his school exploits. However, I am not a fan of writer-as-hero books with context, and other characters, left fuzzy, and so I found the book mostly pretty tedious.

Tell me what you think. I knew Jonathan many years ago. Having read some sections of this that do not accord with my memories of the same events, I am too involved to have a sense of whether it's a objectively a good memoir.
