Punkzilla: summer reading post 2

For the book Punkzilla, you realize that the book is in letter format and not chapter format. I feel like this is a move is risky but pulls it off because he is trying to communicate with a brother that is on the other side of the country and neither of them have internet, cell phones or access to a ready phone. it is also giving punkzilla whom is a character that has had a hard last few months something to do on this multi day road trip that you really can't do much. The reason he is seeing his brother is because his brother is dying from cancer that has gotten to the point of no return. he has already had one of the tumors burst, causing him to go unconscious for a few days to awake in the hospital with the worst news in the world, you are going to die in a very short time and we can't do anything about it. If you have gone through a death in a family you know some of the pain but if you were really close to them, you know what it feels like or this poor boy at only 15 would be going through. You can tell out of the gate this book is about remorse and grief. But at the same time it is a very positive book in celebrating the good, bad, ugly and between of this world that we call home.
