I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews about this book, especially those that include personal attacks on the author.Watching the news, I've seen stories about 17 year olds involved in shootings, stabbings, arson, and rape. And all of that was just THIS week. To see a 17 year old writing a book is a refreashing chamge from what we normally hear about young people today and gives me hope about the future of our country being in the hands of people like Anthony.I think that those other reviewers should look around and hope for more young people of this caliber learning about the world that they will some day be running.
