I was impressed. Mr. Ollestad is very much a gentleman who added depth to his story in the passages he read aloud.

Though I was interested in his story, I was more interested in his career. With us being similar ages and he not quite a superstar in the publishing industry, and with a story that takes place roughly the same time and age as my own, I&#8217;ve been following his success with great interest.
