In The Boy With the Black Suit, Matt is a high school senior. He is starting school 2 weeks late, because his mom recently died. Because of this he stops caring about school, and what people think of him. Matts neighbor Mr Ray, hires matt to work for his funeral home. Matt realizes he enjoys the funerals, and that they make him feel like he is not alone. As matt works for the funeral home, his father has struggles with alcohol. As the book goes on, Matt becomes closer to Mr Ray, his best friend Chris, and others. I really enjoyed reading this book. It did a great job showing someone going through hardship, and dealing with problems. The way the characters were described showed their personalities very well, and I felt like I was getting to know, them. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
