To be up front and honest this is not the type of book I generally enjoy and this as the same. I like the story line and the characters but not the way it was written.

I chose this rating because even though I enjoyed the story, I felt like their was something missing. I'm not sure yet what that is yet unfortunately. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16. I liked the way the story was written
tten, and it gave you things to think about. I also liked the fact it was an easy read. Great book to let your imagination run wild
