Pieces (168 Pages)

Chris Lynch has written a a book that is a real guys' book! First of all, it's short. Secondly it is written with guy humor...I even laughed at several parts. Eric's older brother has always been his idol. But Eric dives into a quarry, breaks his neck, and is brain dead. His parents want to take him off life support, but Eric is fighting them on this. He just doesn't want to let go. But he does, and Eric's ashes end up on the mantel in his family's living room. The family decided to give Duane's body parts to several people. One person received his ear bones, another got his liver, and another received his kidney. Eric decides he wants to meet these three people, and they become a major part of his healing. The relationship between the three recipients and Duane's former girlfriend provide some very funny scenes. So, this is a quick, good book for those guys who are reluctant readers.
