I listened to this one on a drive up to New jersey for the Thanksgiving holiday, and for the most part, I enjoyed it. But I felt the "great awakening" scene was contrived and unrealistic. Too easy, too quick, and it hurts the book for me.

from the publisher: Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
