This is a classic work that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion. It is satirical and funny at times, poignant and thought provoking at others. The book is a lesson about overcoming life's hardships and maintaining enduring friendships. Hard to believe this is Armacost's first book. It's an instant classic. I will be looking for more of his work down the road.

Riveting and daring Armacost transposes you into the lives of four young men whose love for each other seem to be all they have. Inner Indianapolis is the setting, but it's America at it's best and at it's worst. Love and hate are central themes that make you reflect on the state of our nation and how we've managed to let "the dream" escape millions. As time passes the four boys turn to men, and have life choices to make. Thier choices reveal who they really are, and in the end that makes all the difference. Laugh and cry with Armacost as he takes you on a ride you won't forget. A must read for any 20 or 30 something!

Anyone else would rate this book as being worthy of five stars. Especially when you consider that this is Andrew's first published work. I'm grading on a curve because I've read some of Andrew's UN-published work.

Four Pallbearers' gritty look at five young men coming of age in a less than perfect world will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. You know these guys. You care about these guys. You are these guys.
