Negative Positive
Title: would have been five starts but for a slightly hokey ending
Review: This was a great story of a boy (the narrator) growing up after his track teamates (including his girlfriend) were all killed in an accident. After, he goes on to a different school district and is more or less used by the administration because of his newfound running skills. Running becomes something that makes him in the eyes of the community, and it's also something that gives him solace as he goes though the pains of high school and growing up. Part of the ending seems a little silly to me, but that didn't damage my opinion of the book overall. Very well done and entertaining.
