Reminiscent..Moving

I write this review not only as a reader but I'm a childhood friend of the author and so the first night I read I laughed so hard I couldn't breath..the next night I cried..And yet with all of those emotions I managed to allow myself to take in his journey through his words...I have since tried to contact Marcus...without success...hopefully he will read this so that maybe I can tell him personally how much I really enjoyed his memior
