I didn’t expect for the things that happened recently to happen. When I first picked up this book, I expected to hear about Kristina’s fight to stay away, but I didn’t want to he..." Wow what a book, it sounds like a very dramatic book and a very confusing one as well. It seams to me that the author maybe brings in more characters in this book to make it a lot more interesting but in reality it simply confuses everyone else who's reading it. And even though it sounds like this book would tangle lots of readers up I think I might actually want to read it. From what you have written I'm kind of interrested now in reading what else will happen to the girl or how her life end up, would it have a happy ending when she realizes how bad drugs have ruined her life ? Or will she just end up dying of some type of overdose, I want to read it!

At first i did not really understand the reason for why the author started his book the way that it did. throughout my reading i had no interest what so ever, at first it seamed as though it wasn't getting interesting at all. Then the author began to shift the story. HE wrote the story in a very intriguing way a perfect METHODOLOGICAL story and well ORCHESTRATED. I like the way the author at first made it seam as though this story was an ordinary what ever story that was just being told without a purpose, but it was more like a build up of how the characters interact with each other to later compare how much they had both changed.

I got confused when The author showed the main character as a successful person going back to his old town for no particular reason, then as i began to lose the most interest i realized that the reason why it was all written the way that it was was to EXPLICATE to the reader how PEJORATIVE the main character (Jim) was earlier in his life and how much he has changed because of his mother. IT all became clear that Jim was never really one who appreciated his own life and made his own life difficult when there was no need to, he realizes how good a life he now has when he is confronted with a true problem.

The purpose of my book is to Persuade us into believing what he does, to adopt his point of view. the way the he sees life we should see it. i can infer from what i have read so far that the author is wanting the reader to understand the life is valuable and if it is easy and not taken advantage of a good life you should "go to hell". The tone of this Author in this book is Generally positive, the author is not throwing bad things at you to make you see the world the way he sees it by throwing it at you in a negative way. it is amusing and orcein a while funny and makes me chuckle from time to time.
