The novel starts with a very controversial statement;
Is it a good day to die?
Death is a long-term fascination of Theodore Finch.
Theodore Finch is an infamous high school senior, an old-fashioned soul, and a “man build like a bull.” He is difficult to understand and on top of that his untamed nature has earned him a new name, Theodore Freak. Not that he is very happy about that. Theodore would address himself as someone rather, pre-historic. Above all, he is the kind of person who would find it worthwhile for someone to smile at them, genuinely. It's so worthwhile that he might as well fall in love with them. These small finite moments would give him a little satisfaction with his otherwise, very grey life. But unfortunately, as soon as they vanish – he would find himself just an inch away from jumping off some bell tower, or a cliff, or maybe the Purina tower.
