David's mother does not only physically abuse him, but she mentally scars him. She tells him she does not nor can she ever love him. I can not imagine. Taking a moment to appreciate having a sanction of unconditional love, I must say how lucky I am. It is too horrible. Too horrible.
If you ever feel unappreciative, read this book. David's failure to obtain love from his family will make you go up to your parents and kiss them. And maybe, for the first time in like 12 years you will let grandma and grandpa do the same, or call you a short nickname. It is not selfish of you. David would want you to. Looking at the cover again, I feel dissatisfied with the portrayed image. So I do kind of judge books by their cover. We would all be hypocrites of we tried to say we did not. Smooth hardbacks or papery flimsy covers. I bet that if they were the same price anyone would choose a hardcover over a soft cover. This might not make much sense, but for some reason I could not really imagine this book in a hardcover. It would just look really harsh.
I used to think that I wanted to be the designer of book covers… pick the “it” graphic for the cover that could just say it all by the end of a book. But, after being in scribbler and seeing how much work it is to crop photos and what not, I do not think I could take it, really. And, the fact that I can not even draw or take good pictures probably limits my design eye. So, maybe this cover is not as bad as I think it is. Besides, it is the least important part of this story, really.
