heyy i'm here....so far i have really enjoyed the book. I have found that it is fast pace enough for me to not stop reading. This personal and internal struggle that sal goes through is similar to that of Chris McCandless's but the difference is it doesnt really take shape or direction yet. Sal just lets it take him wherever he desires at the time. I was somewhat confused at first concerning some of the less important characters, but then read it as a train of thoughts. it then made more sense
