By day two of this novel Adam is partaking in one of history’s bloodiest battles and overcomes many difficult scenarios. One described on page 102 by Fast says, “Once I had established a fantasy about my father being alive, I was able to break it down and argue with myself, and then accept the fact that Father was dead.” Adam is overwhelmed by witnessing the death of his father, but quickly calms himself in a mature manor,
He resorts to an old friend who he practically bullied during adolescent years, which I find to be completely ironic.
