review 1: Overall, this was a great read. I nearly read it in one go and, for me, that doesn't happen too often.My only criticism is I think it started off a lot stronger than it finished, and I had to suspend my belief a little at the characters motivations toward the end. Still, that didn't detract too much, other than that the characterization was very true and the writing completely engaging. I loved it. review 2: The book was a pleasant read!The plot explored a popular topic/idea but it was done well and entertaining enough.I think there were two main "conclusions":- 1. people never change and some of them will do no matter what to make you do things their way; - 2. as long as there is someone who believes in you, you could try and change your life for the better;I'... morem giving 4 stars (3.5 would be closer) because even if entertaining and well-written, the book does not introduce something radically new topic-wise. less
