There are times he is angry with the world and everyone in it. But then there are the times where he can see all the beauty, just like the Romantic poets. His girlfriend Sylvia and best friend Zeke are trying to help him on his journey.
But when the real world throws a tragic event in Dixon's path his struggles to save himself become darker and much more difficult and dangerous.
"The style and tone of this novel will draw readers in, as the main character directly addresses the reader on and off throughout the novel. This novel deals with some heavy topics gracefully and in a short amount of time. It is a good read for high school reluctant readers."

"While writing this review, it occurred to me that the novel Into the Wasteland is a bit like the tardis from Doctor Who: its size is small, but once inside its cover, readers will find a multi-dimensional world. Lesley Choyce, the author, covers a lot of territory and some heavy subject matter. . . Many thanks to Lesley Choyce for creating a novel that provides a relatable character for them and their friends, because, as Zeke says, "We're all connected. We just don't see it."
Highly Recommended."
