This was a little different read for me, but I like stepping out of my norm every once in a while. I enjoyed this one, and the ending wrapped up nicely. I've been recommending this to quite a few people, patrons and family alike that I know might like this one. It's one that makes you think, and to watch the characters evolve and grow, with a few subplots with each of them kept me fascinated all the way through. This is one if you like YA novels, and want a change from the whole distopian fantasy thing that seems to be the trend, this is a good one. It's a good growing up story with a real life meaning that can apply and stick at any time. I enjoyed it though, and the narrator for the audio version did a phenomenal job. He fit the character well, and carried the story all the way through. Read this one if you're looking for something a little different. You won't be disappointed.
