Perhaps I really liked this book because I just left off with Orphan which I did not finish. This book is about two brothers, one in college and one who dropped out of high school. For me, the narrator, the older brother, tends to be preachy. It might be difficult for a reluctant reader to get beyond his voice.
I think this would be a good read for the "Critics of Society" class because it deals with some community work that goes too far.
I wrote down an idea from the book, that is to do something to make the world a little better before you go to sleep at night." I'll probably use the idea with the freshmen. I'm not sure the book would work for the freshmen.

When I think of myself in high school, I remember back to being angry with the status quo, angry with politics, etc. I wrote political poetry for our high school poetry slam team, and our coach dubbed me an angry young man, despite my being a woman and all. I think this makes sense, or at least this time in life, because being a teen is a time of rebellion, testing limits, and not liking the status quo if you are being shafted by it. Angry Young Man by Chris Lynch is a very short contemporary young adult novel at 176 pages which explores the dynamic between one such angry young man named Xan who doesn’t seem to fit anywhere and ends up turning to anarchy and his brother, Robert who is Mr. Popular, athletic, and has status.
