Received as a RABCK with much thanks! It will probably be a while before I get to this, but I'm looking forward to it.
Well, I finally got around to reading this... I knew, going in, that much debate had surfaced about how truthful this memoir actually was.
Overall, I felt this was only okay. Even if everything had been completely truthful, I felt as though there was sometimes too much detail. Some incidents just seemed too personal to share. The writing was decent but not great and I felt that I didn't really know any of the Doctor's family. Often, their actions would confuse me - whatever was happening didn't seem inline with what I thought I knew about the character.
I did finish the book - it seemed to end rather abruptly. I wouldn't read this again and I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone but I wouldn't tell someone to not read it, if they had an interest in it.

This book is heading out into the wilds of Guelph to help stock one of the city's wonderful Little Free Libraries. Which one or when, I cannot say - that will be up to the discretion of the owners!
