Reseña del libro "A Good Boy (en Inglés)"
A GOOD BOY is the fascinating and riveting story of a likeable, and often confused, young man's quest to become "a worthy human being" that plunges the reader into the underside of social normalcy, American excess, sociopathic behaviors, greed, depravity, suspense, and the nature of friendship.With rising tension, John Birkhoff's journey to acquire understanding and to be "morally straight," is challenged at every turn by John's boyhood nemesis and sometime pal, Tom Jensen, who has a habit of intruding on his life at inopportune moments and interfering with John's goal to adhere to the high standards and personal values set before him by his parents and influencing adult society of the 50's and 60's. His ingenious and occasionally likeable friend easily sways John, a perennial "Boy Scout" and a Good Samaritan who does not wish to offend anyone.Their lives are forever changed when, through a misunderstanding that John informed the police, Jensen goes to prison for six years, while the ethical Birkhoff embarks on a path of moral solidarity and conservative middle class ethics in a dysfunctional suburban neighborhood in Southern California. Jensen never forgets or forgives Birkhoff.
