I was intrigued the moment I read the synopsis. What if you never have to die? That's an interesting question and a great premise for a storyline.The author was able to hook me up with the mystery of what exactly was Symone's power. I couldn't put the book down as I read about what was going to happen to the almost-pathetic main character.But as the reveal came along (I won't do the revealing),  I was kind of taken aback. Because I felt the author was somewhat romanticizing death and I thought that might put the wrong ideas for teens who are reading this book.And as a Christian, I didn't quite like the links to the bible for the author seemed to have put Jesus in the place of just a `healer' rather than God and our savior.But I was still hooked on the storyline and continued reading until the end of the book. I am glad that I have completed the book because at the end of it, there is a message of courage. I really like how the author brought forth the idea that is so true in reality: We often blame the world when things doesn't go right for us. Truth is, we are, many times, the real cause of the problem.I also enjoyed watching Symone's growth and change as she sheds her shy and gutless self.Overall, the story is a good read.
