Read from August 04, 1989 to January 03, 2012 — I own a copy, read count: 4
Hmm, weird. I could have sworn I'd put this on "currently reading" again, since I just re-read it!
This was one of the very first Point books my brother owned and so one of the first either of us read. Possibly the very first, though THE ACCIDENT also by Diane Hoh is up there as a candidate too. I just re-read it now, at the age of 31, and...I've got to say it was pretty cheesy. Some of the other Point books I've read are definitely much higher quality writing. This one had a good plot (or so I thought), but sometimes the chapters that were from the POV of the bad guy were almost too cheesy to bear.
Inauthentic dialogue tends to irritate me, too, and this book had a lot of that. Anyway, this WAS rated 5 stars but I've lessened it to 3 (and one of those stars is for pure nostalgia's sake).
