I loved every page of this book. It's an adventure story with roots in Shakespeare and Mythology - and if you think you'd be put off by that, DON'T BE! It's wonderful. It's a tale of two brothers, one 10 years older than the other; and their "friends", some of whom walk through the story for just a few pages, but are memorable just the same. Some cause havoc. Some are meaningful and helpful in profound ways. The brothers, from Nebraska, are headed West to San Francisco to find their mom, who'd abandoned them years before - but first they go East to New York City in the most marvelous way, full of complications, that you can imagine. Oh, everyone, read it and understand what I mean. I just finished it and I'm about to start it again. I want it to stay in my brain always.
