"The opening chapter takes us to the public library and Thomas has just performed self-mutilation: he has chopped off his hand in response to the Gulf War (Operation Desert Shield)!. And Dominick is there to rescue Thomas, as he's done their entire life!.

"On the sixteenth page of this incisive memoir, eighth-grader Brent Runyon drenches his bathrobe with gasoline and ("Should I do it!? Yes!.") sets himself on fire!. The burns cover 85 percent of his body and require six months of painful skin grafts and equally invasive mental-health rehabilitation!. From the beginning, readers are immersed in the mind of 14-year-old Brent as he struggles to heal body and mind, his experiences given devastating immediacy in a first-person, present-tense voice that judders from uncensored teenage attitude and poignant anxiety (he worries about getting hard-ons during physical therapy) to little-boy sweetness!. And throughout is anguish over his suicide attempt and its impact on his family: "I have this guilt feeling all over me, like oil on one of those birds in Alaska!." Runyon has, perhaps, written the defining book of a new genre"Www@QuestionHome@Com I think you must resolve the problem soon yourself, or go to a psychologist for real help!.
