This book is about a boy whose dad is a professional football player and his dad suffers from memory loss and migraines from unknown causes so Z.J. has to watch his dad suffer.This book also reads like poetry.This story is definitely interesting and questionable but I do think it is sad also.I do wish the ending was different because this was a shock ending and unless if you like shock endings you'll be OK with the ending.I think this book wasn't the best but it was fine. I think that more sporty people.
