To be honest, after the first five chapters, I became disappointed in the book. Denver's story is heartfelt and culturally/socially significant - from both a historical perspective and within society today. Even from the start, Ron's story feels shallow and forever dependent on wealth, status, and material possessions for meaning. His God discussions feel typically evangelical, 'religious', not spiritual. In this way, his story too is culturally significant. By the end of the book, Denver is left to menial mention. I would be interested to read reviews from the black American community.
