[Bryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remembered reading this book back in high school soon after it came out. I really enjoyed it, and it was a plot stuck with me over the years. Unfortunately the title did not. After many searches and pestering many bookstore employees, I finally found the title. It was a while after that before I found a copy at a used bookstore. I'm barely a 100 pages into it but I'm enjoying it all over again.

Probably more like a 3 and a half.

I read this when I was in highschool, I remember very little about it, other than liking it quite a bit, I want to find a copy and go back and read it again now that I am grown.
