Lockpick Pornography

Ok, so I gave this crazy book a chance after my friend shoved it at me during lunch. I'm still unsure of how I feel about certain events but the book itself was great. Each character seemed to have a fatal flaw in the eyes of society, either their gender identity or sexuality. Which drove the entire story --which was a wild ride from start to finish. Although it left many things unresolved I'm so glad that the book ended where it did because I feared for what could/would happen to the characters in the story if it were to have continued. Especially the main character who went nameless throughout the entire book. He was constantly causing mischief and getting himself into potentially life threatening situations, such as kidnapping a homophobic politicians son, breaking into homes of couples and stealing their TVs or anything else he could find, punching a girl in the stomach in public and directly afterwards flirting with her boyfriend. If I knew this person in real life I would be gravely worried about him.

But I did however admire his drive to make the world more accepting through reaching children and teaching them to be better than their parents. Although breaking into a school at night wearing a Velma mask along with Ernie of Sesame St. is probably not the best plan. It did make the news though, getting coverage was the goal so he and his three friends were successful there. I'm still a little worried about he and his friends where the book left off though.

I'd like to know if Richard and Alex's probably illegal relationship crashed in flames or if they survived (Alex was a senior in high school, 17, while Richard worked for a cable company...I'm assuming he's much older than Alex). Considering that and how none of the characters believed in monogamy and the main character constantly saying that Richard was getting too attached to Alex I don't think that they would have lasted. Especially knowing that Richard and the protagonist had a relationship that teetered along the line of platonic and romantic constantly and gave the impression that the protagonist was a bit jealous of Alex and even a little jealous of them.
