I love the YA Jack. He is my age in the book, therefore COMPLETELY perfect.

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

Well, Jay, that gets to the question of why we enjoy fiction. As a phenomenological existentialist
quigglemouth:, I suggest fiction enables us to transcend our humdrum existence ("You spent the rent money on drugs, bitch? =Again=??") and take "the high ground" view. See Colin Wilson on this.Or Homer.
Or Robert Heinlein.
Or Paul Wilson.
Or Nora Roberts.

37 and I enjoyed it! It brought back a lot of memories associated with a small town, the music, video games, not locking doors, the freedom to ride my bike anywhere and be home by dark, and my own barrens which I knew better than anyone else in that town... the creek. There was even a time I encountered some steal traps. I LOVED THIS BOOK.
