Book Review A young man, Sam, beginning to think of his future and about attending art college learns he will become a father and life permanently tilts. He pours his soul into his Tony Hawk poster. And his life advice is drawn from Hawk's memoir, about becoming a young father. Sam wakes multiple times into future situations learning about diaper changing and baby terminology and his mom's boyfriend. And when Sam wakes up he's back in the present and a little less unsteady. Hornby adds twists and turns in the story telling. It's never boring for a plot that can seem common.
