Section A
I think that this book is very interesting because, of how the author starts the book off. It starts off with a guy jumping off the building of a hospital. There is also another thing that hasn’t changed much is that the protagonist hasn’t matured much. He has always been there and has changed but not matured. But, it is very interesting that the author wants the protagonist to keep searching for the gold that he wants to find. Because, he wants to get away from his father holding on to him, he won’t let him go unless he has the money to do something else on his own.
I think that the book is very interesting because, in the beginning of the book. I didn’t really like how it was in the beginning but after chapter 3 when the protagonist grows up and changes. It starts getting really interesting because, you never know what will happen next and it makes you want to read more and more every time.
