This book is much like the story of his life, disjointed, rambling, unfocused and lacking depth and direction.
He rambles from one sentence to another and one topic to another without connection. Much like the relationships he cannot develop, his story lacks cohesion.
He states that each of the King children have difficulty with bonding and, at the time of the writing of this book, none had children or marriage.
