I was sucked into this from the first chapter. I tend to enjoy these "coming of age" stories and especially where we are dealing with an individual trying to straddle two different cultures. I really think the author did a wonderful job laying out this story. I know there have been some critics that complained he "told" the story more than he let it reveal itself. I disagree because I personally don't have a problem being "told" a story if the context makes sense and it is done appropriately.
