Slefishness

I am extremely confused as each day this book keeps unraveling its plot. I have not yet decided if I'm liking the book or not, but I do know one thing Brent is a d%$#&* b!#. This might sound extremely cliche or whatever but it was so selfish from his part doing that. He did not have a good reason to do what he did.

When they were able to have hand surgery, he said something extremely selfish. He has a "friend" called Maggie, she was hurt on the same day and is not able to have any type of surgery "That's good. I'm winning" was what he said. First of all in what world is that winning. Commiting suicide, almost dying and having to reconstruct your hands? Now that's selfish thinking of someone defficiency to have surgery as an upside for yourself. This acts makes us see that even after the "accident" he is still the same old person, with the same old personality. He still looks out only for himself, I guess he thinks that this girl Maggie isn't a really big deal, why would he care about if she gets surgery or not.
