In ATDPTI I really admire Junior as a character. He looks funny, stutters, and has a lisp. despite these challenges he took a leap of faith and decided to transfer to Rearden. the book surprised me, by how quickly and unexpectedly people at the new school start to accept Junior. I like that he has made a friends with Gordy, I think they have a lot in common.
Another character I like is Rowdy. He stands up for the little guy and isn't scared of a fight. He would fight anybody that touched junior. However, I dislike how he suddenly hates Junior since he moved schools. It seems to me that he is overreacting.
I agree with you, but I can relate to Rowdy's behavior of losing a best friend. Good analysis and opinions of the story.
