Reading Warriors discussion

This book will be one that the American School high school students will read this coming summer, so I decided to read it too. Its main character is a slacker in his late teens in the USA, so it took me a few chapters to warm up to him. Still the book is well written and has a good message about starting over for all readers not just teens. I re-read the first chapter and found it solid; Zusak tells a good tale without much embellishment so most teen readers will find it engaging and easy to read.
