Hello readers! I am curently still reading the novel, "Catch" by, Will Leitch. I belive by the time I complete reading this book it will be one of my favorites. I love the humor in the story. One of my favorite characters is Tim brother Doug. I feel Doug's pain of emotion in the book. Doug is Tim brother who had a hard decesion of weather to go to college or go to the major leguages. Doug really wanted to go play for his favorite baseball team and earn lots of money for the job. Instead Doug's parents talk him in to college. At the time that Doug began college it was a good idea. Now Doug feels it ruin his life cause he missed out on the oppertunity to play for his favorite team. Doug did not finish school and now hangs at home with his parents act as though he is depressed. Doug's additude towards college has his brother Tim the main person of the story in a bit of a pickle about going to college. Tim worried college could ruin his life. I think Tim should go to school regardless of what his brothers experince of school was. At this point in time I am in to the book where Tim goes into work and gives Helena a fake rose and a card for her birthday and feels like it was going to be the best prank ever but that idea was shot down when Helena thanks him. Tim storms out of Helena office. I thought that sceen was very cute. I think Tim is a really sweet guy in this novel and try to be a lady killer. Tim and his brothr just crack me up. If anyone wants to know if this is a good book to read .... YES IT IS.
