Compelling story and worht the read. As a note, its a memoir and written as almost stream of consciousness. For the first 50 pages my gut feeling was that the book wasn't worth reading and really needed to find its way to a good editor. But the story took over and to some degree the "blogging" was lessened. While the overall stream of conscienceness aspect makes this a frustrating read in the beginning as it jump all over the place, still compelling and sad and worthy of your attention.
