 Did you finish it? For me it was all about the characterization of Frank. My dad is going to be Frank, to a T. And I am the son and my brother is the hippie daughter, minus the ambition to actually get himself out to a foreign country and do something about his dirty hippie feelings. I guess it really wasn't the plot at all, just seeing characters that I could so readily identify with.
