Has anyone started this book? Any initial thoughts?

Why do you think the narrator is a man who is an amputee and unable to turn his neck, a man who needs to have another take care of his most personal needs, who keeps referring to himself as a freak? What is the author trying to convey by giving us such a narrator?
