The portions were quite boring may lie in the time Sam spends his days were boring after the departure of Felix. Moreover, according to the book is quite thin, only about 200 pages. So, read it can not linger. One more thing, do not think the story would be similar to the content of the stories in the Chicken Soup series. The story contained in the book is more funny and imaginative, but on the other hand is also inspiring and touching. Overall, the book is still worth reading. Lightweight, but still contained and full of moral values.
