Ed Boone (Christopher’s Father)

I think Ed Boone is in general I really good father. At the beginning of the book, he is very patient with Christopher and that is not always easy. But then in the second half of the book Christopher find out that his father is hiding letters from his mother and that she is still alive. But in these letters Christopher’s mom praises his father to be a wonderful Dad and that he was everything she wasn’t. But why has his father hidden these letters? I think that he couldn’t get over it. And I think that this was wrong to deal in this way. At the beginning I thought that he is a very good parent. I think he is still not a bad father, but it was definitely wrong to hide the letters. The part of the book when Christopher find out that his mother is still alive was very disappointing to read.
