I think this book was very thought provoking, if tricky for me to read. I was left wondering about my own perceptions on older people, and on the sorts of things we get wrong when basing things off our own personal experiences rather than listening to others, also how politeness can go a long way to creating a framework for dialogue.

Having said that the story itself was a little mono-track for my liking, and probably needed to be for what I got out of it, and the direction of the plot was fairly obvious, and somewhat disappointing because of that.

Still. A good book.
