review 1: This was an engaging read with a great narrator. Reading this book was like slowly peeling back the layers of an onion. Each level revealed something pertinent to the story. I guessed early on what was going on, but it was still engaging to read. This book definitely made you think about suicide and how badly someone must be hurting to take their own life. I loved how Dan went from a despised character to one that you genuinely felt sorry for. I will absolutely be looking for more titles by this author.
review 2: This book doesn't shy away from the anger, the mistakes, the misunderstandings, the emotional growing pains of being a teen. Nor does it trample the presence of possibility and hope. Instead of dwelling on the aftermath of suicide, it focuses on ... morethe before, the many small moments in a teen's life that can become all encompassing. Told in reverse, the reader follows events as they happen before understanding the underlying reason why. This is an intriguing, thought provoking read for parents and teens. less
