I found David Gilmour's story of his son's unconventional education sickly-sweet, almost poignant, and somewhat pointless. I don't feel Gilmour ever gets to the "meat" of the story, but just touches the surface here and there. It almost felt as if Gilmour wanted to write a book extrapolating his favorite films, but didn't want it to be gratuitous, so made it into a "schooling affair" with his son. This book could have been much more.
