This book wasn't what I expected it to be; it was actually so much better. Mr. Riley has a way of writing that makes you feel for the characters... for Ray Ryan, in wonderful ways that draws you in and keeps you engaged in Ray's quest to make it through the troubles that life has thrown his way. The novel is engaging with a strong writing style and fully fleshed out characters keep the story moving along in new, unexpected ways. This is a heartfelt and dramatic novel that brings with it the reality of life and the tribulations of getting older, seen through the eyes of a boy who has a dream of making it as a writer, but a life of trouble keeps getting in the way. I really couldn't put this down once I started it, the writing was fresh, lively, emotional and exciting. It just made me so engrossed in Ray Ryan's struggles that I just had to see how things turned out for him in the end. Altogether, this was well worth the read.
