It was an addicting book. I read it in 3 days, and I don't read much. I recommend reading it, especially if you are a teenager. -B.B.

I loved it. Most books that feature someone our age depict the character artificially. Not this book. It stayed true-to-life. -M.P.
I liked the book because it showed how people need help and can get it. It was a really good book. -M.S.
