It also includes a confession about his previously unknown struggle with alcohol. My Grandfather's Son was praised for its frank tone and well-written style. However, it was also criticized as being too partisan for a sitting Supreme Court Justice and for over-emphasizing claims of victimhood. Much of the media attention centered on his chapters on the confirmation hearings, one of which was titled \"Invitation to a Lynching.\" Thomas received a $1.5 million advance for the book, which hit number one on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list."@en . . . .
