This book starts of as the author Jack Gantos as a 19 year old kid still in highschool, well multiple highschools.  His family moved alot and Jack had little supervision.  He really had everything.  Then he was arranged to live with a family, the Bacons. He eventually was kicked out, for drinking too much and throwing up in the house.  Jack is essentially a kid, outta highschool just trying to get by, he eventually moved into a unit in the King's Court, and he stayed there for a while.  Jack loved reading, he wanted to be a writer when he grew up, and when he got his own place he was drinking less, and reading more.  It was a step in the right direction, in terms of wasting his life drinking and doin nothing. He created a journal, where he wrote down certain things that were in the books her read fro example, one section was about the the vocabulary heh didn't know, he intended to use eventually in his own work. At this point he is just a vulnerable kid, who wants to get by, and become a writer.  He has ambitions like any kid.
