The overall storyline is decent, but I didn't care for the way it was developed.  The characters were young, and therefore immature and annoying.  This was a supposedly "Christian" book, but there was nothing inspirational about it.  The "Christians" in this book were, for the most part, judgmental Hypocrites.  Exactly the type of people to turn people off from Christianity, not draw them to it.  Instead of explaining the good news, the hero was given a bible after he was thrown in jail.  No one ever sat down and talk to him about what it means to be a believer.  It does NOT mean following a list of rules (don't drink, chew, cuss, etc) which was the impression this book left with me.  Also, the main characters were so mean and there wasn't a lot of love felt except from the grandfather.  Don't waste your time with this one, especially if you're looking for a Christian read.
