I actually really liked it. It was a bit long, but his process was a bit long. I think I just like the idea of leaving peoples' expectations and following your dreams right now, though..
I found it a little dry at first but got into it as the chapter went along. I think that it continued the theme of trying to live a life that other people expect, or believe, you to be living.
Yes, it's definitely dry. I reread the first two pages about 20 times because I couldn't get through it without it losing my attention that many times. I haven't finished it yet though, so we'll see I guess.
