Many reviewers didn't like Jason; they said Jason was the lowliest sort of human beings. I agree that Jason was a very weak person: he was depraved; he gave in to drugs and whoring; his attitudes were horrible; his treatment towards our hero, Mike, was vile, and so on. But I like him. Jason was unique. Screw kick-ass heroes! They're all cliché! Jason was SPECIAL. That's why Mike loved him. Mike was Jason's redemption. Mike was Jason's life-saving rope. Mike was Jason's second chances. Mike buoyed Jason up on the surface in the middle of a vast black sea. Mike was Jason's everything. Somehow, I thought The Price of Falling was actually more about Jason than it was about Mike, even though it was told in Mike's narrating voice and through Mike's life. I saw Jason through Mike's eyes. I understood Jason through Mike's love for him. Mike and Jason were PERFECT regardless of what other reviewers' opinions. I love this book. I love Mike and Jason with all my heart. And I assure you, it says a lot for me to use the word "perfect" for books I've read. I may be an easy book-rater, but I'm a very picky reader and not many books could succeed in doing the job of pleasing me completely. This book did it. Everything has a price, worth it or not is up to you. In my case, picking this book was one of the best move I've ever done.
Hey, do you know that Pancakes actually have a wide range of varieties. I'm so hooked in looking up and discovering different types of pancakes on google these days. I'm gonna try out each of those recipes. :P
