For me, the name gave it away. For young people, at whom this book was aimed, it would probably not do that. It was from the point of a young man and I think it did a good job of showing the divide between what we want to do, and to be, and what choices we make that force us away from our desired self. It is also good at pointing out the gap between older people who have made hard choices and younger people who do not understand the how and why of those choices. I intend to pass this book along to an elementary school.
