Reviews

[Marie-Pier Kiopini · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good book but I thought that it was very hard to follow. Since I'm not in the USA, I didn't know anything about the roads and cities they were, I had a hard time following with the characters too.

I think it's meant to be that Dean is hard to follow, but for me, it was everything, not just Dean.
