WilsonSelf-righteous and lacking a true understanding that his choices/opinions are his. There is a fundamental inability to truly stand in the shoes of others. their choices. good and bad and ultimately the meaning of his familys ability to insulate him from many of his foolish/youthful decisions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great look a culture and how it impacts the youth.By Alfred J SpellerI thought it was a good book. It really brings to light how easily influenced human beings are. It is definitely very difficult to be different from everyone around you. Even with that difficulty this is an account of a young man that was still able to overcome. It also speaks to how important a strong family unit is.I found it to be pretty easy reading and interesting enough to keep me turning the pages. I could personally picture the locations and music described in the text. This book took me back to my own youth. I would recommend this book.
