i dont like the book

I personaly do not like the book. To be honest, regardless of how much basing we did for Admission, I still like the book. Although the book is like a soap opera and predectable, it is interedting in showing the meaning of admission itself. It is also a book I can relate because it is not too long ago that I had to apply for admission. But for Wonder Boys, it gives me a weird feeling. Everytime I read the book, I feel like I get mad at Grady and James. I think James is extremely naïve. When he mentions that rich people are never happy. I just feel like it is such a naïve thing to say. I feel like he sounds like a kid who listen to their parents lecturing about life lessons. His relationship with Grady does not make sense to me. I find it odd that Grady is helping James and even taking him to his inlaw’s house for Passover. I do not know if grady is helping James by protecting him or hurting him. Aside from being naïve, I also found James to be an insecure youth who is lost in the world. The fact that he complains about Pittsburgh and says that he hates it there makes me think of myself. I remember complaining about Pittsburgh and the school. This just reminds me of how insecure I was and still am. I think the purpose of puttig James with Grady and their adventure together is to contrast certain aspect of Grady’s unbdeveloped emotion and self-knowledge. I do not think Grady knows much about what he wants or what he likes. He can easily ask Sara to give up the child, and he can also easily promise Sara to be with her. Yet, he then goes to Emily’s parent’s house for Passover. This shows that he still wants Emily to forgive him for his affair. Grady is stuck between Sara and Emily. He is unsure of whom to chose. I think he only wants something for an instant. Take the incident with Hannah Green for example, he wants to dance with her at the moment, but he is also debating on what to do to get Emily back. He wants Hannah for an instant and then goes back to wanting to save his marriage. He then gets distracted and forget about his problem with Emily. His unstable desire is also shown in his three marriages. So overall, I do not like Grady nor James. I think both are extremely insecure. This book is also confusing. I think there is so much problems that is happening at once and is extremely dramatic. However, I do have to admit that it makes a good movie.
