Ok, read this book and didn't like it. Jason, the new guy, was handled very well. Jolley made sure not to fall into stereotypical characterizations for a black character; but the story was still ho-hum. The cliches came in elsewhere. An abusive father, though an apologetic one, and money problems, though he's rolling a somewhat new SUV, as well as him trying to get ahead by mixing up with the wrong crowd. The story was slow and didn't leave me any reason to buy another issue. I'll let some other sucker pay for it and read his copy just like I did the last one.

BTW, that reminds me. Hi, Pro!
