A boy named Joseph has one heck of a skill - writing. But there's a dark secret that drives him.Low self esteem, parents that are all in all disinterested in his life and all in all depression that often follows too many hours of gaming.I like the writing, the style... but it honestly depressed me. Instead of making progress as a human being and cleaning his room for a change - he berates himself and lets life ride over him.I feel bad for Joseph and if I could go in there and slap him around or shake him out of his stupor I would.It obviously affects his character Gideon. And they seem to respond to situations very similarly.Joseph does grow on you though - I'm attached to the character and hope in the next book he gets to slay a dragon or it's equivalent in real life.
