2.0

I recently read Going Bovine, and this book also has crazy dying boy hallucinations. I decided to skip that part. It only hindered the plot a little bit. Of course, I probably missed a lot of "the message". Ugh. Do teenagers want a message? I don't think so. I will add it to my library though, because I think if I bill it as a football book, I can get kids to read it. Once in, they'll perhaps soak up some thought provoking ideas about being the underdog, living in the moment, and bigotry.
