I had debated if I really wanted to read Muscling Through by J.L. Merrow and I am really glad I did.  I love it when I read something that I don't expect too much from and end up getting more than I expected.  This is a story of two complete opposites who find each other and find the beauty in the other.Muscling Through reads from Al's POV.  After I got past Al's way of speaking and understood it I began to understand Al and who he is.  He's sweet, honest, innocent, self-deprecating and special and some of his ways of thinking put a huge smile on my face.I loved how Larry looked past Al's appearance (after the initial shock) and actually saw Al for who he is.  He was never embarrassed by Al and honestly found humor in Al's quirky comments.This story is going into my favorites and I will be reading it again.  Definitely a must read, you won't regret it.
