Cannot believe this hasn't been adapted into a movie or mini series.
Full Tilt is a fantastic coming of age story, filled with imaginative setpieces, with a beautiful story of overcoming your fears, traumas, and self doubt. A literal storytelling manifestation of the phrase "the only way out is through". The characters are consistently engaging and I could barely put it down because I needed to get to the next development.
I read this a long time ago in middle or high school and had forgotten alot of this. But coming back to it as an adult might have actually improved my experience with it. I really picked up on the subtle nuances of Shusterman's storytelling this time around and loved the resolution.
So damn good, hope someone wisens up and snaps up the rights to this.
