This was a really interesting book. It was well written and kept me interested till the end. It tacked the idea of religion and friendship and growing up all at once. Jason Bock has a great imagination as you can tell through the book. So while struggling with his dad's instance that he be Catholic he started his own religion.
I do not think that he knew the pull he had on other people through this book and even a the end he never took any responsibility for what happened. It is something that his dad told him multiple times but he did not understand even he lost it all.
The book shows Jason growing up loosing the girl he likes without really knowing and making a loosing friends. He is in that time in his life in this book that he has to figure out who he is. But he learns that not only did he change his life he changed the others lives too.
I like Shin's idea that you can not be a part of or be fully involved in something unless you believe in it. I think that comment really carried weight for Jason and for me the reader. I don;t think this book had any resolutions and I think that it shouldn't have. It is just the kind of book that makes you think about it. I will be digesting this book for a while.
