"What he does doesn't define him."
"Well, what does?"
"The trying of it." [about Edward] (page 45)
This book focuses on Jake remembering his younger brother Edward, who he was very close to. The boys loved summer, baseball, books, and french. Edward proves to wise beyond his years, as well as fearless. He tries anything, even if he "fails." Unfortunately, Edward dies in a bicycle accident, but his death helps others when his organs are donated. His eyes, his best feature (steady and blue), go to a professioal baseball player.
I liked this book because it was more about what Edward was like in life. You really get to know him. His death only comes toward the end of the book. It is quickly dealt with, and then the book moves onto the recipient of his eyes.
That's all I have time for today. Homework beckons.
