Less than stellar prose. "I did this. I did that. I opened this. I crossed that. I wrote this. I felt that". (Honestly... Read it or listen to it as an audio book and try and get more than 10% in without grinding your teeth as the 400th short sentence in a row starts with "I". The twist was like a herd of elephants coming over the hill, too. Not recommended.
