This novel seemed intriguing when I read a review in a magazine. I was also impressed when I saw that it was written by a teenager. And then I read it. And it sounds exactly like something a teenager would write. All the characters are very one dimensional and cliche. At the end, I felt nothing was truly resolved. I was bored by the first thirty pages but continued because I hate not finishing books. I was relieved to find it did pick up a bit by the middle, but the ending still sucked.
