Both the story itself and manner in which it is told are compelling. But it wasn't until near the end I was willing to attach the term "amazing" to Mr. Jones, Hand Me Down World. I think I know why. "Compelling" is just good storytelling, but the book became personal for me when I reached "...the old gentleman... was tall and sagged down through his shoulders. It was as if he had been looking forward to meeting me for some time and here we were. I have known hotel guests like him. They are so polite it is as if they need to prove that the pecking order that exists in this world does not apply to the moment at hand." I realized I have known both, that I have been both the guest and the maid. It was personal, and the whole book spoke to my heart.
It was a compelling read, but got pretty corny by the end. Which ain't so bad for a lifestory, really. More importantly, did you know that Jonathan Safran Foer wrote a blurb for this book?
