Wow, what a book! The Running Waves hit home with me so well that I read it in just over a day. The characters were so relatable. I felt like I knew the people in the book - people that I might have worked with, went to school with, partied with. The main reason the book hit home with me was the main character Colin. I was able to relate to his struggles, his demons, and his pitfalls. Reading the book made me look back at my past and realize how if I, like Colin, stayed on a destructive path, I would not be who I am today. This book is a must read for all high school students! I think a lot of students will be able to relate to Colin, maybe not all of his demons, but definitely some of them, and it’s a novel they can look back at as they get older if they run into the same demons, and they can read it and remember those demons can be conquered. A person in trouble might not feel it but people do care, and maybe just maybe a person in trouble can be saved just from reading the pages that these two guys poured their heart and soul into. I know for certain if I read this book 20 years ago, I might not have made some of the same dumb mistakes I made.
