didn't’t love Bud, not Buddy, but it wasn’t bad. I couldn’t get really too attached to the story line. Overall, it was a good book, though. I really liked the flow of the story as it progressed through Bud’s travels. I liked the different assortment of characters through out the story. Like Lefty, Bugs, and even Mrs. Thomas. The different variety is what I really like about it. Again, didn't’t love it but didn't’t hate it.
