Oftentimes an environment has the ability to build or break a person's future. The unlikely event of a life changing accident expresses how the main character battles childhood depression, issues of self-confidence and self-consciousness, to find a latent appreciation of life.Comments about the book: \"This is a series of autobiographical short stories which mostly revolve around issues of identity, alcoholism, and consequences.\"\"The opening short story was perfect to start the book off. It had a seamless pace, and it ultimately set the tone for the rest of the stories to come. I liked the environment and the initial setting. It was nostalgia, mixed with a familiar sense of self.\"\"I really enjoyed this novel! I think it managed to tell the lifetime story of an individual who has experienced a lot of life lessons even at a young age. The flow was perfect, it felt like I was reading a play almost, that is how well it flowed.\"\"The use of mini short stories and a mixture of epilogues contribute to the primary narrative where the core narratives of overcoming poverty, substance abuse, and depression are consistent threads.\"\"I really enjoyed the main character. I think his character development was dynamic. He learned from his mistakes, and from his conversations he had with his friends and family.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This book is a Confidence code for boys.
