Frank's writings have always seemed very genuine to me. He continually goes out of his way to refrain from demonizing his parents, but simply to look at their lives from a different perspective. He never left the faith (he's Greek Orthodox now), so its not like he's calling himself the anti-christ or anything. I guess I empathize with him because I see a little of my own story in his.

I have heard some other reviews of the book that claim that Frank wasn't as kind as he could/should have been. It just seems a bit like he is trying to make money off of controversy. Of course, without having read the book myself I should reserve all judgments...
