I think it's a great idea to extend the book through the month of February. I really enjoyed it, though it took me awhile to finish. (I think I may be the slowest reader alive.)
I just kept thinking that the title was wrong. I know he explains it later; but, I disagreed with it. Honestly, it sounded like a naive teenager. Basically, he felt that the expectations of others were preventing him from doing what he wanted to do. Which, in some cases was true. We do need to be true to ourselves. But, everything he accomplished was because good people influenced his life for the better.
I just kept thinking that it was the love and support of good people that helped him accomplish so much. If everyone could have the kind of mentors he had, just think of what could happen! I guess I'm just sentimental, but we really do need other people; and we've been blessed to have those good influences in our lives.
I will say, I was a little disappointed in the ending. It seemed so detached from the rest of the book and I was disappointed in him....but it was still a good read. Enjoy!
