This book has been reviewed numerous times so I will refrain from repeating the scenario.  I will just giving my humble viewpoint.

I didn't like it, didn't not like it.  It was mediocre as far as I was concerned.  The same old story of an older person with self-centered children(child) and changing his whole outlook without any explainable reason.  I couldn't get into the main character and I just wanted so many times to tell him to get over when he had issues with his son who acted the same way as he did.
