Not the best memoir I've read
This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.

I am avid reader of young adult literature as well as fantasy and fiction. I love going to the library. I love love Harry potter!

Engaging from the start. (1 more)
Pretty easy reading, but not at all dull.
For the younger adult really, but I thought it was pretty good too.
