"Going Bovine" by Libba Bray Post 2

Cameron leaves the hospital with Gonzo after Dulcie give Cameron a watch like thing that gives him some strength to go out on the mission given by Dulcie. Having completed the mission, Dulcie said he would be cured and something would also be given to Gonzo as well. Cameron's main motivation and what he really wants is to be cured. He will also need to save the world along the way but he really wants cured. I don't know what Gonzo wants exactly, but I would guess that he desires safety. Gonzo would probably like to not be short, too.

One theme I could see is that family is important. Even though Cameron didn't have the best relationship with his family, he still misses them. Especially after hearing his parents worried voices when he makes sure they know he's alright. 

This book is structured with mountains and valley's as Cameron and Gonzo progress on their adventure. They walk down a hill moving along smoothly towards the end goal. Then, they have to climb up a mountain and not tire out as they hit a conflict in the trip towards a cure and saving the world. I hope they don't give in, but when does that ever happen?
