Response #1: This book is great!! I like the fact that you get to know everyone's feeling on Rob's death and whatever else's is going on in there lives. Such as Gerald's essay where he relates that how $5 make such effect as tarnishing his life through his abusive addicted father and how it was the price Rob paid for his life. Even though this is a teen fictional book and all of us think were grown in college now but this story can all hit home with us because all of us know or even know of someone who has died at a young age. Which makes us realize we will never know when its our time to go and to value our time here on earth with friends, families, and those everlasting memories.
