"Almost Home" by Frank Marcopolos is far from the average college based novel we are used to. Frank takes the reader on a journey through the eyes of two very different characters. One character (Barry Budski)being from a wealthy family spends his time finagling others to follow his dreams of becoming an entrepreneur, while the other (Enzo Prinziatto) spends most of his time chasing after the girl of his dreams. Both characters are involved in the college baseball team, but clearly one is more dedicated than the other.After getting into this novel I found it very hard to put down. I just needed to know what was going to occur between the two characters who where clearly raised very differently (one with morals, and one with less) The two characters blended together perfectly to make the reader route for the underdog so to speak. The way the author brought life into all the characters in his novel, made me feel as if I was there on campus with them.Great reading, thank you Frank Marcopolos for a refreshing look into the life of frat parties, baseball and the drive it takes to achieve the dream.
