Review: Huh.  Just, huh.
Rating: 3 out of 5

It's not bad, just cluttered.  The main plot is pretty good; a kid loses the love of his life, he goes down a bad path, he gets powers, his life turns around, he helps sort of save the world.  If that was all there was to the story, it would get 5 stars.  Unfortunately, the plot is weighed down by drama heaped upon tragedy heaped upon a weirdly sexual high school experience.  I swear, every other sentence is about sex in some way, and it just doesn't work.  Maybe if the characters were older or not all weird goth kids who can't dress themselves.Anyway, I didn't hate the book, but the main character's life is too much of a mess for me to move on with the series.  Maybe if it gets a rewrite or something.
