it's poetic justice that a father so careless with his son's safety and so reckless with him should end up dead in plane crash. it's not macho that the father encourages (forces?) his young son to engage in perilous activities, its just bad and selfish parenting. bravo! a dad who knowingly leaves his son to fend for himself against his mother's abusive boyfriend. what a terrific parent! how suoer cool to take a child (against his wishes) on a trip through mexico (where he is shot at) in order to go surfing. how hip to risk the boy's life and make him ski in a storm. if the author intended to write a book about careless parenting and almost criminal disregard for a child's safety and well being, he succeeded. there is not a single thing about the boy's father worthy of admiration and its a wonder the author's parents' did not kill him while he was a child. in addition, the dopey nick names the boy's father gave him only made him more annoying. in a nutshell, the author's parents were guilty of wildly disregarding his safety. on one particularly risky adventure, the boy's father dies. he brought it on himself. and as his final act of atrocious and dangerous parenting, he left his son with an experience and memory to scar him for life.Get more detail about Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival.
