Exit Here

Exit Here
pages 1-45

     I am currently reading the book "Exit Here," by Jason Myres. The main character in this book is a drug dealing college drop out named Travis. He lives off of his rich parents in San francisco. In the beginning he describes his life as being trapped in a car with no steering wheel, going full speed. In the beginning he goes to dinner with his parents, and uses a fake ID to buy alcohol, because he is only 19. His parents say nothing about this and don't seem to have a problem with it. I think that the reason he is describing his life as being trapped in a car with no steering wheel, is because his parents let that happen. Travis seems like the kind of person who isin't very social. Even though he was very popular in high school, when his friends call him, he never returns their calls. When he came back in town he never told anybody that he was in town.
   Currently in this book, Travis is at a party where he sees his ex girlfriend, who appears a bit too friendly. When he doesn't feel like being friendly back, Travis resorts to drugs and alcohol to make it easier.
