Query: What a DOWNER

In a good mood?? Hate that feeling?? Then read this book by all means. (POSSIBLE SPOILER)I'm not sure what the other reviews mean by "a story of redemption" The main character is a back-stabber who, although supposedly haunted by his past bad decisions, keeps making more bad decisions! He is interested in helping no one more than himself. I don't see where he ever succeeds on his own at anything. Living in Afghanistan in relative opulence?- thanks Dad! Leaving it?- thanks Dad! Getting his life saved?- thanks, Kid! Working out the adoption?-thanks relative in the INS! Oh yeah, he did succeed on his own at one thing- he turned that kid into a mute.Although well written and a quick read, I can't recommend this to anyone.
