I have to say this novel was a very interesting read! I have never read a book quite like this one. However, I do think that some teens would really enjoy reading this type of book. This novel shows the importance of joy, love and family. Also, to enjoy the opportunities in life and live life to the fulliest.
The plot of this story, I felt was a little slow throughout the book. The characters in this story were very well developed. Junior, the main character of the story, starts hearing voices in his mother's womb. He eventually finds out the earth will end in 36 years. The voices guide him throughout his life. However, Junior slips into a pattern of substance abuse. Junior is then left with the question to ask "Does Anything Matter?" Throughout his life Junior is constantly reminded of this question. Junior could have chosen any life to go back to but he chose to change himself. He chose to change his actions. At the end of the story, his brother, mother, daughter, wife, and Junior are in bed together waiting on the end to happen. This story allows the reader to examine his or her own life. We must enjoy the opportunities in life and to remember that life is important!
