An interesting and very different follow-up to Holes. Armpit is a good kid (teenager) trying to make something of his life, and it all spirals out of control - mostly because of other people. A bit of a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. It's definitely there, but it's a bit unclear and unresolved at the same time.
