While Myers seems reluctant to pass judgment on his teenage characters, his novel carries an implicit indictment of the parents who allow their children to abase themselves to such a degree. The vehicles hit the victim near the Thonotosassa exit, according to troopers. Myers's writing is heavy on detail-particularly when highlighting the clothing, music, movies and slang that accompany the kids' lifestyle-and at times apparel seems to serve as a proxy for personification. After an interminable litany of violent sex, abusive relationships, drunk driving and rampant coke use, lives begin to fall apart, though only Travis-gradually-begins to realize the futility of this self-perpetuating cycle. As Travis reconnects with old friends as well as an ex-girlfriend, it becomes apparent that he is avoiding events that occurred while he was in Hawaii and attempting to return his life to how it used to be.
If Travis's usage (which has instilled similar interests in his sister) is never directly sanctioned by their parents, then it's certainly overlooked. Travis immediately falls back in with his crowd of friends, none of whom, in an escalating whirlwind of cocaine, sex and underage drinking, spend much time sober at all. Nineteen-year-old Travis moves back in with his well-to-do parents and younger sister after a failed year of college in Arizona and a licentious trip to Hawaii on his parents' dime. I am going to check out Dead End next to see if that is any better.In his debut outing, Myers delivers a relentlessly bleak take on the self-destructive lives of a group of teenagers. How big is your ego to the point that you have to brag about yourself within your own book? All in all, it was another cliffhanger book of Jason Myers that I could not put down but I feel the sense of quality and touch has been lost. My biggest pet peeve is that Jason Myers writes for Alexander to mention HIS OWN book "The Mission" as well as describing him as a bad ass author. Ideas and memories from the character are repeated to an irritating amount. The drug use in this one is beyond ridiculous and is mentioned literally on every page. His actions are super predictable throughout the whole book and personally I could not stand the character and wanted to stop reading just due to his dialogue.
This book was different in the sense that the main character Alexander, is a delusional and naive junkie.
The previous books have been able to fully immerse me with unpredictable and intense drama. Being an avid fan of Jason Myers ever since I was in high school, this book has come off as a big disappointment.
