Title: Tried To Write A "Holden Caulfield" Novel And Failed
Review: Freedman writes so well yet his plots go nowhere. I believe he is trying to teach the readers through his books, but - First of all - I'd rather be entertained, and - Secondly - I already know what it is he is trying to teach. This book is the story of a poor boy from the old drunken father/abused mother syndrome who dreams of attending the naval academy. He doesn't. That's it. If you want to know all of the mundane things he goes through to arrive nowhere, be my guest. Wish I had not read this.
