Punkzilla: Summer reading post 1

From what I have read so far in this book, I can say this. This book is weird. Let’s start with the main character, his name is Jamie but goes by Punkzilla, he is a druggie, runaway from his parents and from the military school they sent him too. He is originally from Cincinnati and has a younger brother that isn't mentioned very much and an older gay brother that ran away 4 years before after he came out. Both of them hates their mother’s husband whom I assume isn't there father but I could be wrong on that. He is a decorated vet and hates both of his wife's kids that aren't his. Coming back to Jamie, he ran away from the military school and hitch hikes from I assume Virginia to Portland origin. in the beginning of the story, I can tell it is mostly backstory because you just start it and it starts right as he is getting on a greyhound bus to Memphis Tennessee. The backstory is mostly Jamie's story in Portland and some near the 50 page mark of his run away from the military school. In Portland he was mostly stealing iPods for money and using that money to pay rent, buy food and getting favors from a girl that lives a few doors down. He has a few friends that aren’t that remember able. But all he wants is to see his older brother one last time… and we will pick up on that next post.
