What I Leave Behind By Alison McGhee

Describe a part of the book that made you feel something strongly (i.e. something that made you cry, laugh, get really angry, etc.).

Well i just finished this book. This was a really good book. It had a lot of feelings. Will ( the character) has a pretty sad like, his father that was loved very much committed suicide and his best friend was raped by 2 boys. This story was mostly about him comparing things now to before and his memories. There were a lot of quotes in the book like," When you fail don`t give up try try again ", or "Don`t let the bastards get to you ( which was the most used and the most strongest one ), Will thought they were stupid but then till the end he figured out how powerful they are. My favorite quote was also used a lot and I saw power in it, the quote was " music is a refuge of the lonely" it made me have mixed feelings. I found it a sad but powerful book. I liked it a lot and i think you should read it.
