i don’t feel like i know the characters. i don’t care much what happens to them initially. they are just people running around doing something which i’m supposed to care about, but don’t. a few instances occur where sentences are chopped. they should continue with a few more words but don’t. it makes following the story more difficult as i have no idea what a particular character is saying since they don’t finish their sentence. the writing is simple; almost so simple i’m not captivated by it. i

feels very much like one of those books, although with a lot more carnage. it' s very good young adult fiction. that said the level of violence might make it unsuitable for anyone under 13 or 14 .
once this review pitch landed in my in - box, i was intrigued. here was a story that had so much action it could punch you in the face. i was glad that was true. this book is most definitely for boys. there’s tons of action, flirting, murder, and violence. oh and did i mention how fast paced it was? it pretty much reads like a movie.
