Thoughts on the book Crash

What did you think of Crash? Give specific reasons for your opinions. For example: I like Crash because I love the idea of Crash making such strides toward being a mature adult from being an impulsive, reckless, and rude child. I also enjoy reading about Penn Webb because there are so many similarities between his childhood and my childhood.

What do you look for in a friend?

We have read about some of the character traits of Crash, Penn, Mike, and Abby. If you had the opportunity to go hiking and camping for the weekend with one of them, which would you choose? What leads you to believe that this character would be an enjoyable person with whom to spend time?
