The book proved to be a great staring point for a very lively discussion within our group. While many had mixed feeling about the style and format of the book we all felt it gave an insight into the problem of alcoholism and it's effect on the authors life. We all loved the descriptions of island life and the natural world. Some felt they were glad they had read the book but were not sure weather it was a book they had enjoyed. Would recommend it as a good read for a group.
