Like John Knowles A Seperate Peace, Ripples has two characters who are attracted to each other by what is lacking in themselves. Brenton looks up to Christian because he is sucessful outwardly in every thing he does while Brenton is weak and unable to be a success in his endeavors. The book builds to a climax one summer when the two friends have a showdown over a girl. The book is part poetry, part drama, and part parable. A classic.
