The book didn't need to explain that Ari and Dante cared deeply for each other. The two acknowledged each other in different ways to maybe me and my friends, but that was what made it so brilliant. It wasn't cliched they fought, they got mad at each other, but they always managed to pull the pieces back together in ways other than just saying 'sorry'. It was so brilliantly written, and Ari and Dante's friendship was unexpected but seemed to just work. Little do they know, they are the keys to setting the other free.Įssentially this book is a book of memories, strung together not quite in diary form but over a period of time, sometimes short, others longer. His different view of the world changes Ari as an unusual friendship forms. Told from the perspective of Ari, a quiet boy who has shrunk inside himself as he's grown up around a brother in prison who he knows nothing about, a mother in denial and a father haunted by the war. This book, in my eyes, was utter perfection.
