I struggled with the beginning of this book, thought the first few chapters were boring and pointless. I perservered though and towards the end, I didn't want to put it down. There was one time I felt the author put his little friend in danger by deciding to hike in bad weather, but it was made clear throughout the book how much Tom loves Atticus and Max. I was very touched by his loyalty to Max and his love for Atticus. I enjoyed his emotional journey of coming to terms with his father's life and loving him in the end. I look forward to reading Will's Red coat next.
