My review of this book: I think this book was a good novel. Some parts were a little strange but i think that overall, the book was good. My friend lent me this book and I read it in 3 days bacause the chapters are so short that you keep want to read more and more. I would recommend this book to anyone but I think they should keep and open mind while reading it.
