Pete and Duke's machinations mostly. The hatred they represented really got to me, at one point making me physically ill. But at the same time I feel "good" writing should make the reader feel something, make an impression, make them think and I cannot deny this book did all of that for me. I could not help but constantly compare this to the civil rights movement here in America not that long ago and can't help but wonder is this the way Martin Luther King Jr thought, is this the way people planned to show they were not going away either and that they no longer would be treated as different? Daniel Waters certainly gave me plenty to think about and for that I appreciate his hard work and hard words.
