It's been a long time since I got so attached to a character as I did to Matt in this book. He was a real, sympathetic character. Even with his issues, he had a strength and willingess to try that edeared him to me almost immediately.
Like so much of the time, I found myself drawn to the secondary character, Clay, Matt's younger/older brother. Some peices of matt's psyche and soul stopped maturing at 16 when his life changed so dramatically, and so even though Clay is younger in years, he has a maturity about life that matt lacks. He is a wonderful, exasperated, caring, worried, loving foil to all of Matt's problems.
This was a great book. Flawed but beautiful characters. Very inspirational.
