I don't think I really need to explain why every 7th grader living in America from the years 2008 to 2014 all hate this book with a passion. ( )

The description is a little misleading. Elliot has more than one person to talk to. Elliot starts out behaving badly in Astronaut training, but he realizes it and changes for the better. Elliot and Vincent get very angry with each other because they are so alike. ( )
