Kurt is a talented but emotionally damaged football player. Danny is a rising star on the gymnastics team, an outsider in a high school where the football team rules. But the two form an unlikely friendship, and when one member of the gym team is viciously assaulted by the quarterback and his cronies, Kurt rises to his defense and challenges the entrenched stereotypes of high-school sports. This is that rare book that authentically captures the voices, fierce loyalties, and harsh justice of teenage boys.

hard hitting truth about todays bullying
Revisado: 06-08-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Leverage to be better than the print version?
Did not read print version
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kurt. For some one to overcome brutal upbringing as he has. Experience the terror and abuse that he did that has left him with a near disability to be strong enough to not only bow to peer pressure in order to keep from becoming the target again but also stand up for those who cant protect themselves is beyond brave. To risk everything to do whats right and buck the system is so near impossible these days. But he did. Regardless of consequence.
What does Kirby Heyborne and Paul Michael Garcia bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
That trimmer of emotion of fear. That true frustration when kirk cant
get his words out. The pure off their rocker rage the 3 captions have when the have lost it and are in that space in time of nothing but rage. They bring that to life like your right there with them.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could hardly break away. I did not get to Finnish it in one sitting. But did in a 24 hr period!

There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories.) Jenna Lord's first 16 years were not exactly a fairy tale. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. She used to count on her older brother - until he shipped off to Iraq. And then, of course, there was the time she almost died in a fire.

chilling and and will not let you go

Would you listen to Drowning Instinct again? Why?
Yes
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mitch. He is such a parodix. You cant tell if his actions are out of true love or a sickness of his own.
Which scene was your favorite?
Most heart breaking is the end. Because no matter how thing got so messed up and how many lies are told. The bottom line is the love is so great it trumps it all and rips your heart out.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did it all. You feel such profound emotions for all the messed up cast who are the blind leading the blind. Everyone is so messed up in their own way that inflecting more pain and screwing up seems inevitable.
