He goes through very nice changes. I don't know that Sam is a true unreliable narrator, but he certainly isn't in possession of all the facts - they come out in the story and even Sam get surprised. It's fun, not draggy or boring.Randomly Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041218984035157545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774409390948285794.post-77990926417180221092015-02-24T08:36:48.952-05:002015-02-24T08:36:48.952-05:00Yes, it is a good one.
