Gary, well, Gary didn't make choices. Gary just hedonistically drifts from one bad decision to another. He turns his life around but we aren't witnesses to that transformative stage of his life--just to the wild years and the events that occur decades later.

That is disappointing that the book does not show how Gary finds his healing from addiction. That is the part of the story I would like most.P0tt3ry wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 17:35 Duke was always in touch with his demons. He understood the risks and consequences of his actions, but still made the choices he did. I liked this flawed character because he took ownership of his choices.

I don't like both characters due to their love for alcohol. However, I admire their circus stunt.
