Peak is nuts, but awesome! Scaling a building is something I would think of as audacious and if completed, legendary. I think that the idea of using the blue mountain tag to bolster his morals to help him climb is very cool. The blue mountain tag is a stencil of a mountain that Peak created that he spray paints in blue onto the skyscrapers he scales. The idea of scaling buildings is interesting to me because it shows the way that Peak is subconsciously thinking about how he misses his dad and that by doing so, relieves himself of the burden of love he owes his dad.
Peak is one of the most dynamic characters I have seen since Repossessed. Peak is in many ways like Kiriel, the main character in Repossessed. They were both given chances to let go of their "dreams" and have the punishment be less demoralizing, let alone severe. Peak is one of the characters you want to back up and follow only because they are ambitious and actually trying to make a difference.
I think the story is going to unfold unusually but interestingly. I think the relationship between Josh, Peak's dad, and Peak is going to start very awkwardly. Though they will take a while to bond, they'll probably end up correlating perfectly. I think that Peak appreciates his dad looking out for him, but isn't sure if he's ready to move in with him.
i like your word choice haha.I like that you compared one character from one book to the character in the book your reading.
