    <body><![CDATA[After the First Death is &quot;young adult&quot; fiction. Like the school bus on which the bulk of the action takes place, you will see the plot coming long before it arrives, flashes all those lights and requires you to wait while it serves its function.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love robert cormiers writing, until is gets to the end. It's as although when he writes he just quits by the end of the book. The ending just, well ends. But not powerfully. It kinda makes the book go from great, to just okay.]]></body>
