BOOK OF THE YEAR.

its sad what we do for approval from the ones we love the most. This book takes a man desperate for his father's love and affection and exploits his faults. You hate him, yet pity him. His relationship with his best friend shows how sometimes you dont cherish what is truly great. For some its long after they are gone that you realize what you had. With the dealth of his best friend and father, he is forced to grow up and try to show the man he has become by taking his best friend's son. Its such a moving book. SOOO DEEP. These two relationships cause his character to reach such a low point that the readers just want to close the book and say.. ughh i can't stand this guy, but then you think, wow, this is just sad. What approval drives one to do. Best book of the year.
