I had no problems when reading the story. I knew most of the words, the others I could guess out of the context. The story is written in first Person Narration. You know this because you often read: "I think.....; I did...", which are indicators for a first Person narrator. There are many flashbacks, but it is not confusing and you can follow the storyline. The story is well written. Garrett Hongo, the main character, is a round character, with a lot of different aspects. However, I find the story a bit boring. Nothing really happens.
