Helpful Score: 1

This is a very well-written book, with incredible story-telling. The primary subconscious focus of the book I would say is the evolution of the author's rose-tinted view of her father as a naive child to her realization of the kind of man he really is as she ages and begins thinking for herself, only to come back to her youthful adoration for him as an adult. Even as he lay dying, weaving some elaborate (very typical) conspiracy tale that has led his illness, the author knows the brutal truth of how his hard life and bad decisions is what actually brought him to this point. But she still just accepts him for who he is. For my personal taste I found it totally depressing, though.
