This book had a bunch of great stuff in it so don't read too much into the negative things that I am going to point out. I read the book a while back so don't remember the main characters name. NOT the authors fault just my lousy memory. But, actually, that means alot considering there are a list of other books below waiting for a review from me that I don't remember at all! LOL.I LOVED that the author made a huge effort at character development...but...That being said, I feel characters should've been done developed by, at least, half way through the book. AT THE VERY LEAST! Especially the main character. So why did we not have a single CLUE that the main character was gay? That's a big, HUGE part of his character that wasn't even so much as eluded to until the very end of the book!That single omission changes the meaning of many conversations (Even many LOOKS between himself and the rest of the group) as the story continued. How we interpret his actions and responses are dramatically different. omg. We don't find out the other guy is gay until then either! So that is 2 character devs that were'nt 'finished' until the end. Almost as if on purpose but if so epic FAIL. I mean, for what purpose? It's not so shocking anymore so really NOT that big a deal. So yes, I didn't get it.For instance, the point where the main character and the other guy popped into a room to discretely change clothes?(And, now that I think of it, how that other guy squeezed in to share the room to change takes on new meaning to). The main character got caught "looking". Well, I just assumed it was a guys assessing glance(seeing how he stacked up in comparison) and he was a bit embarrassed at getting caught. I guess guys do that anyway. Girls do. You hear us girls say stuff like "I wish MY boobs look that good at that age" or "DAMMMM, my butt never looked like that". Thats just pure envy and we're only half joking around. Does'nt make us gay so why would we have assumed HE was?My only other gripe was how the book just ended. Cut off as if it was one book that the author decided to get more money out of by selling it in installments which, of course, would be dirty. To get one book you would end up paying 3 times. There just didn't seem to be any resolution to any problems during the story. They were still in the middle of everything. Still working on the plan of getting to a vehicle and THE END! No cliff hanger(thank god since I HATE those in books unless the next book is available to read right then!) no nothing.This is the longest review I've written. The first part of the book had so much going for it that I'll still read the next part(yes, the one that actually makes a whole book...hopefully) even though I'll have to pay for it. WOW. That was bitchy of me. :( The author needs to work on ending his books by resolving some conflicts or making a stopping spot some how.
