Gary, on the other hand, was aimless and ambitionless. He wanted life to be handed to him and he wanted to be the best at something without having to work for it. Unfortunately, this is a common theme with the generation that he is supposed to be from in the book. I really appreciated that Duke challenged him to be more than he was, to reach for what he wanted and to live life to the fullest so that he could get it.

Because of this, I found each character equally likable. I could relate to each character on some level. Duke was a product of his upbringing. His attempt to escape that lifestyle drove him to an equally destructive lifestyle. Duke had heart which I found endearing and honorable. He reached out to those around him and offered a nonjudgmental ear. I felt I could relate to his work ethic and sarcastic wit.
Gary reminded me of my own adult children and the clients that I work with. I have seen them start down the path of self destruction. I remember being in their place years ago. For me, Gary's story was a glimpse to my past. Although I was not an active participant in the hedonism at that time, I remember attending these types of events with my friends. Knowing how many of friends ended up, it is hard for me to witness the youth of today making the same bad choices.
For me, I don't have a preference because I can relate to both characters. One is where I was, and one is where I am.
