review 1: Wow. Painful. Just painful. Can't believe this is the same author who wrote Give a Boy a Gun. It was labeled as "middle grade" on the back, but I had to stop listening with my son when it started getting really weird...a lot of statutory rape stuff, psychotic parents, and people ...

review 1: Caught on the border of giving it two stars or four! Haha loved the premise and the topic. Thought it was well written for the most part, but I had a hard time with buying Dan's character. He just seemed to handle things a little too nice and neat for a kid struggling with such b...

review 1: OH MY DEAR GOD! I can honestly say this is one of the best books I have ever read. I was one of the first I ever found on goodreads and I really wanted it because I thought it looked really good; I was not dssapointed. I literally couldn't put it down. I went to bed REALLY late s...

review 1: *Spoiler Alert*I know that may not have grown up in the "low class" minority suburban area that we know as the ghetto. But you may have friends or family that do live there. You can just ask them how hard it is to grow up in that kind of area, to survive even. I can say for sure ...
