Overall: A pleasing read throughout that gives more to the reader than the description alludes. If you base your decision to read on the description you may pass this up but then it would be a mistake.Point of View: The book reads from the main characters point of view. Interesting to start the novel off as a student in junior high.Voice: I believe the cursing was a bit much but it did add to the beleivability of the character.Character Development: Silkin is, as usual, flawless in his development of the character and takes you into the main character so well that you start emotionally connecting.Plot: A bit farsided but beleivable.Dialogue: You will remember the days of you growing into adulthood and using "adult" language.Pacing: I was so wrapped up I read it everywhere I went. The pace locks onto you and doesn't let go. You just have to get to that next page.Setting: Silkin paints the exact portrait of what he wants you to see. The setting matches the book perfectly.Continuity: I was never backtracked, not even once, and was able to do any menial thing, like eat, and come back without missing a beat.
