I became quite bored iwith the stereotypical characters portrayed in SAMs adolescent years. It was an easy and fast read. I enjoyed the ending of the book the most in the way Sam cares for his elderly,sick parents . My eyes teared up with the tenderness he showed not only toward his parents, but also with the boy he planned to adopt. The mothers extreme Catholic behavior I found annoying. Why would she want any grandchildren to suffer Catholic school like Sam had?
