    Fifty pages in, and still no plot. Just wondering, does it develop one at some point? That'd be pretty nice.

    I was disappointed with that book.

    Click at own discretion.

    I thought it would have some climactic point, but it didn't. The most exciting thing is when he pays to TALK to a hooker and gets assaulted and robbed by a pimp. Other than that, it's just a normal teenager complaining about his problems with an unsatisfactory resolution. Very poor read, in my opinion.

    I'm enjoying it, but if it doesn't get a real plot soon it'll get old pretty fast. >:

    Well crap, it really doesn't have a plot? What is this, the Lucky Star of famous novels? ;___; .
    If that's the most interesting part then I don't know why we have to read this for school xDD.

    It has a leisurely plot based around an experience / coming of age story.
