Set of Wheels

I first read this book as a teenager. Was my second book sent to me from a club..My first was the green ripper.. This book though was an opening to my mind for reading outside the class room. The lure was a futuristic time when cars were not so much out lawed, but you had to be "elite" to own one. The main charachter is not really poor. But is from a middle class type home. Typical 16 year old stuff of wanting to get on with life. So he buy's a beat up mustang and heads out into to the new world. THe Kick is that it is illeagle to drive junkers and the highway is forbidden. Leaving the prosecution of his home life. As he travels the united states he encounters bad people and good.. this is his story in a time when the rich control and the rest of us serve.But out west there is freedom.. Love is found and lost.. All in all it will always have a place in my heart. it was my coming of age book..Rebellion and redemption..
