John Bonhomme Jr.

This book just suddenly picked up the pace ten fold. It stays consistent with the one random story, (per four chapters) this one being the Hudson story. This story was used to compare Holloway's and Hudson's similarities. Hudson and Holloway both seemed to have lost sight of their main goal, and end up turning on their crew. These decisions both led them to their fate. The Johnny Truant story has gone from crazy to normal, and now its back to crazy. Johnny is a drug abuser who cannot leave his house. He has a certain connection with it which is messing up his life. In these chapters he goes back to random mind digressions and confuses the reader all over again. The book itself became very...interesting. The complexity of where to read and what to read is very unique, and yet confusing. One things for sure, I've never read a book quite like this one.
Questions
Why is the book formatted like this?
Was Holloway the one shooting at Will and friends?
Will Johnny find help?
