Initially I tried to look past this but after sometime I found that the print was really hurting my eyes. I did feel that there were times when the story was unnecessarily verbose in its detail of his life and growth into the man that he became. This really slowed down the pace of the book unfortunately. Another problem I encountered was that the text of the main book was written in first person whilst with the pictures the text underneath each photo was written in third person.
