The book is an obvious cathartic effort. While this emotional outpouring provides for most of the engaging qualities of the story, it sometimes goes overboard. A number of passages lapse into stream of consciousness prose which many times works but sometimes runs on too long or becomes incoherent (I've read the last two pages three times now and still don't know what the heck he's talking about).
I prefer the narrative portions, the commentary leading up to the death of his parents, his life afterwards, and the flashbacks that occur along the way. And I very much like the whimsical experimentation in the preface and the title and copyright pages.
I highly recommend this book, even though sometimes you get the urge to skip a few pages.
