Good
This story was interesting and different
Read it if you want to, or not
There are some sympathetic characters in this, but overall its not a very great book. With so many other great teen series out there, I would have to say to give this one a miss.
The story was lively and interesting, and at the end i was on the edge of my seat, but there was something about it that I can't put my finger on. Something that made me want to move on to another book.
