Query: Good for a diary; bad for a book

The heart of the story is good -- it gives a touching glimpse into the life of someone living with cerebral palsy, and reading it certainly raised my awareness of not judging someone's mental capabilities by their physical limitations. Christy Brown was indeed an inspirational person who overcame a lot. However, Brown's writing style is simple and on the surface, lacking real depth and detail. He tries to be deep and intellectual at times, but it just comes off as overly dramatic and cheesy. It felt like I was reading a 13 year-old's diary...interesting enough stories within it, but not well-written at all. The only redeeming factor is that the book is short and a quick read. However, I would not recommend this to anyone.
