really liked it

Not knowing anything about Guillain-Barre Syndrome I found this book very interesting. The main character Dane is pretty clueless, but as a highly driven high school athlete I could buy into his attitudes. The author created very believable characters, and I liked the "flashback" style she used to tell the story. I have to admit that some of the student's behavior seemed more like what you would see with college students, for example Dane & his girlfriend take off for over night camping & road trips without telling anyone they are leaving, and Dane's girl friend casually gives Dane a beer while he is at her house for dinner one night. Perhaps I am out of touch with young people's behavior these days, but I never would have been allowed the liberties these kids have in their personal lives.
Over all I really enjoyed the book and found it a quick read. For a first published novel, this one certainly shines.
