review 1: This book seems really corny and light hearted, which it is in some ways, but it has a lot deep meaning. It also covers some difficult topics like guilt and suicide. I would recommend this book to someone who likes detective books, and doesn't mind books with such hard, pressing subjects. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was good, I just didn't think it was great. The beginning of this book drags a bit, and the climax/ resolution are really short and fast. I think the more important, deep themes in this book were almost overlooked. There wasn't enough emphasis put on them to give them the importance they deserve. I don't know, I think this book could have been better. The author could have changed some things by toning down some things and pumping up the emphasis on other... mores. A lot of important things happened where I was just like 'Oh okay... ?' Instead of 'Wow'. This is my first Blake Nelson book, and it was okay but I don't know if I want to read another.
review 2: I liked like...85% of this book. As someone who is on Venice Beach at least once daily...I think some of the "life" descriptions in Venice are a little overblown, but some of it was spot on. I think my biggest issue was the way this book drops off in the last 10%. A book that seems like it should answer more questions doesn't...which is jarring. It's a good YA reality book that deals with the reality of running away. It "might" glorify it a bit, but it does show some of the downsides. I think this book could have been great with some minor tweaks. less
