I thought this was a very well-written account of the relationship dynamics between a father and son. Toltz did a great job of writing from the different perspectives of each of his characters. I was particularly impressed by his ability to write from Martin's point of view, giving a moving account of his mental status.
There were parts of the book that were hysterically funny. Toltz has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that, luckily, he offers up freely.
