  • Troubled

    By Rob Henderson
    4 stars

    I like memoirs and was engaged by this one. However, I would have liked the author to have shown more compassion towards his younger self, or to have made more comments after sharing a memory or anecdote. Often, to me the thought felt unfinished or jarring, because there was not enough discussion following the facts. The story moved quickly on to the next event. When it got to the later chapters, I really enjoyed his analysis and commentary on social class.
