This book is flat out, flat out! The tease goes like this... His dying father is in a hospital room hooked up to breathing apparatus making it difficult to communicate. He motioned the author Mike to come a little closer. He told Mike he was glad he was there and went on to tell his son, "YOU are a complete disappointment!" And he was just getting started.... This is a really raw, painful, intimate and ultimately joyful look at a very complex father/son relationship. But I think it could just as easily be a mother/son, daughter/father or mother/daughter relationship. It crosses all boundaries. I find it difficult to believe that this is as isolated as one might think. I believe people don't talk about it or are embarrassed to talk about it. How does one begin to process such a thought? A parent who is competitive and jealous of their own offspring. This is a must read for many reasons...it's entertaining and actually has some very funny moments, there are moments that made me uncomfortable but there is learning and growing and revelation too. This is one of those books that was a page turner and very easy to read. Reach out to Mike Edison at www.mikeedison.com/
