Being an American History student of Patri Collins' this year, I figured I may as well read his novel, see what he wrote about in his spare time. I enjoyed it so much. The story is entertaining, the characters are interesting, and there are little bits of humor and irony throughout the novel that make it all so worth it. I'd definitely recommend it.
Sorry to burst your bubble...

Mr. Moore, I'm very sorry, but you're mistaken. Patri Collins is no pen name, but rather the name of my favorite civics teacher. Mr. Collins, if you're reading this, hi! I haven't read your book yet, but I plan to. Thanks for everything! Sincerely,A student

I'm not sure (I acknowledge I may be totally off the mark here), but I think Patri Collins character, Max Stole, is loosly based on me. I think Patri Collins is the pen name for one of my 2 best friends in highschool, Matt Weiner. And Eden California is Mill Valley, CA. While acknowledging the physical possibility I am in error.... I'm not. Pretty effing cool, Matt. If I'm right, thank you, Matt. You saved my life, and I can never repay you. Wow. I always identified with Zooey Glass, who knew you saw me as Holden Caufield. Way to go. I can't wait for "Tomorrow's War". Ya Bastich! You said you were gonna write me into a book, but I took it as drunk talk. I'll never doubt you again. You da' man. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please pass it along, as I am forever endebted to everyone who helped shake me to sanity, and realize I do have value. I will try to repay you all as long as I live.Huzzah!Spencer Moore
