This is a biography. Yes of Stuart. It really isn't like most bio's though.Certainly not like JFK's or Clinton's or pick one, any one.
Stuart is an alcoholic, drug abuser, he is a 'chaotic' homeless man. I almost forgot to add he has done prison time for his violent episodes. I know it sounds like others out there but it really isn't.
Stuart can pinpoint when his life changed. Thanks to his older brother and their babysitter. Luckily this story does not go into very graphic detail. Just a few facts, almost like what you would here on a radio news broadcast. It doesn't make you want to hurl.
This book is arranged going chronologically backwards, as the title suggests. Interwoven among the descriptions of his younger life are pieces of his life as he was helping Mr Masters write this book.
Stuart: a life backwards does have it funny moments, however, it also has some terrible moments. He has 2 favorite cuss words which I won't mention here. This is a family blog after all.
It is interesting how he describes his life and how much he "doesn't know, Alexander". How he struggles with trying to figure out why some people can experience horrible things and can have a happy productive life and others, like him can't.
All in all I found Stuart a likeable chap.
