Freaks and Revelations

Freaks and revelations is a novel by Davida Wills Hurwin. Davida wrote this book about two of her very close friends Tim Zaal, and Matthew Boger. Freaks and Revelations is about a gay 13 year old boy and a 17 year old. The 13 year old’s name is Jason and the 17 year old is Doug. Jason is a homeless boy who got kicked out by his parents and Doug has an addiction to violence. This book is about 2 normal people and their struggles.

Jason is only 13 and he got kicked out of his parents house when he told them he was gay. Jason is trying to make a living off of this so he is earning his wages on street corner and befriending male prostitutes. Doug on the other hand is a tattooed, abused, racist. Doug smokes, drinks and travels with trouble making thugs in Los Angeles. Doug also is a Neo-Nazi who was beaten by his father a lot.

I think that this is a great book for people of ages 15+. The author wanted to share real life stories with the audience so they can have a different understanding on life which is what I look for in a book. I like how this book can connect with the readers in many different ways. If you don't know what to read I definitely recommend reading Freaks and Revelations.
