The Trouble in Me

I started off shook because I did not realize the book was based on a true story, and on involving the author at that! I feel it kind of took forever to get a point across at first. I felt like everything was a rambling speech. About halfway through the book I got the feeling and the concurrence that Jack was not just simply wanting to be like Gary, but had developed an almost obsessive like attitude to become Gary. The probation officer was not what I expected. I was taken back by his attitude and lack of professionalism during my reading encounter with him. One thing I didn't like was how an entire side story seemed to start near the end of the book. I was wanting to know more but at the same time annoyed that it started in the first place. All in all the book was alright, but I feel it was a gateway to attempt to get readers to read another book, which was clever don't get me wrong. I just feel this story was a compilation of side stories bunched together.
