With the photographic part of his memory, he is able to memorize pretty much all of walden, and that's where he goes when he makes his grand escape from new york, leaving jack and nessa behind. so, escape part two is necessary.Īnd hank still doesn't have his memory back, although he has discovered that he does have a photographic memory, which is nice. While with them, something violent occurs, so henry (now 'hank'), now seriously injured follows jack to what is supposed to be a safe haven, but is, if anything, worse than what has happened so far. so instead of trying to figure anything out right away, he joins up with a teenage runaway named jack and his sister nessa, calling himself 'henry david' (like the author of the book!!which is a better name than 'ten dollars') until he can make a better plan. So, he doesn't know who he is, but he's got a strange feeling that he is on the run, since when he comes near some police officers, his body has a strange reaction. all he has is ten dollars and a copy of walden, which one of new york's more colorful homeless individuals immediately tries to eat. It is about a boy who wakes up in penn station with no memory of who he is or where he has come from.

I don't know why i am even bothering to write this, since the best thoreau-related book review has already been written, but i will try.
