She's getting a little boring... the allegorical writing is keeping me decently engaged, but the plot isn't going anywhere. I'm just skimming at this point man... I do like ties to current or historial events stuff, pretty blunt (but good) critique on the culture of war and xenophobia. The main characters a bit to well adjusted for a kid in his situation. Missed opportunity for some banger psychological insight.
