This was an awesome book! It
really grabbed my attention and the fact that the book refers to many
places in New Jersey (like Wawa, Atlantic City, Pine Barrens, etc.), I
feel I can relate to the character. -A.B.
It was wonderfully written. It was deep into
detail, and it left you in shock when you finish it. It was a great book!
