First off, that is me on the left (I'm pictured with my niece). Okay, I'm not exactly the biggest book nerd out there, but books have been a very important part of my life. It has helped me through things like, ohhhhhh, real life maybe. In my hours of triumph to the darkest of tragedies, books have always been important to me. Depending on my mood at a given time - like many of us - will depend on what kind of book I'm reading. Reading opens the mind and makes the world more understandable in its complication. Simply put, I love the world of books...........
And it's not just because I'm from Whittier, and that Whittier is referenced throughout the book. This book was a very, well, fun read. Yes, it was edgy, but always fascinating - even when portions became too wordy. I'm sure as heck recommending it.
