review 1: At first I thought this book was just a nifty take on a cliche, I kept reading as I enjoyed the style and the writing was smooth - its one of those books that you say one more chapter and you lose the next two hours easy. It took quite a few good turns in it that I don't want to ruin, although the dream sequence parts I wasn't a huge fan of. I understand their symbolism and everything, but to me they just weren't believable. I find them necessary but not my cup of tea. To me, this book was a gem in the rough, and a bit too underrated. I would definitely suggest, which I generally don't do.
review 2: This book was about a boy who was always lying in order to fit in, one of his teacher's thought he was hurting himself by writing mean things on his own forehe
... moread, and putting on a play fight in the lunchroom. So then he got suspended for the last 5 days before Christmas break, he didn't like being home so his girlfriend came over for Christmas and was going to kidnap him and they were going to go some place and start over. I thought it was a really great book. less

I actually stayed up to finish this, but I'm still not entirely sure how much I liked it...

Well-written novel yet confusing at time during dream sequences
