The God of War

When i read this book at first i thought it wasnt my kind of reading but i really connected to it.
This book is about an adolescent boy who is trapped by himself my doesnt reilize it untill he is exposed to worldly things like violence, drugs, and sex. When he is intoduced to these things he acts out, hanging with the wrong people, getting into trouble, and running away, btu there is one thing that always brings him back. His brother. He protects his brother from the harms of the outside world, but is that really possible, perhapes his brother is just an excuse to keep coming back to his family perhapes his brother is his comfort blanket. Is it possible that his younger brother (Malcolm) of only 6 saves Ares (the older brother) from the outside world, that saves him from himself.
