Dylan is Rather Complex

I guess I’m not too sure what type of commentary we are looking to provide here, being new to this book club thing. I'm about five chapters in and the only profound feeling I have right now is how isolated Dylan sounds. The awkwardness of his family life is unbelievable. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have my father’s nude portraits of my mother around the house or hear them constantly fighting and my mother especially criticizing my father. Let alone hearing their sex life. And then his “second world” was pretty exclusive of him as well. While I can’t relate much with his home life, I felt a little like an outcast with my friends and neighbors while I was growing up until I met all of you. Kind of scared of the bully down the street and while I was able to play sports well enough to be accepted during games, I sort of felt like Dylan with his skully skill. As soon as he established himself as the best, no one else really wanted to play anymore. I’m liking it so far.
