Towards ending the book, I couldn't decide if I liked it as a whole or not. I couldn't because I found the ending chapters to be somewhat repetitive and I quickly got disinterested. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the first half of the book but I'm not so sure about the end. Well the book is done regardless. I found this book to be more interesting than other reads although many stories were similar.
One thing I truly liked about the whole book is that we see both the mother's story and the son's story from their points of view. We see how the mother had to transition from how she grew up and look at it in a different way of how her kids are growing up, given the circumstances. Through the son, we, well I, learned about a whole life that I didn't know much about. How he lived in a bad part of town, how he had a mother of different race, and how the made it day to day. This book makes me appreciate the life that I am blessed with even more than I already do.
As I mentioned before, I got bored towards the end. I got used to their stories and it just kept going on and on. I felt like they just kept going and not taking time to talk about other things. I only disliked towards the end, though, which is why I can't make a decision if I liked the book or not.
Well after fully thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that I did like the book. And I am glad I got to read it.
