I loved this book. And here's why: because the author is posing a question throughout the book, which he makes the reader answer for themselves. The question is, if a man tells a tall tale over a period of time and he believes that tale is how he lived his life, then does the tale become the truth? What is the measure of a man's life: the minute technical events of his daily life, OR how he saw his life as a series of wondrous adventures?
