I love the relationships of these characters. But the major flaw is why would their customer want the target alive if not for using him? Why retrieval and not assassination? Betrayal is so obvious, why do none of these smart protagonists question this at all? Also, the entire plan is really, really bad and riddled with uncertainties. All in all, I'm not too impressed with the heisting abilities of the gang.

Great so far! Fast pace, plot coming together, interesting relationships. But why are all the characters teenagers? I get hardships make you grow up quickly, but they don't talk, act or read as teenagers at all. It seems unnecessary. I think I'd find it more believable if they were at least a few years older. As it is, every time someone's age gets mentioned I'm "Huh? ...oh, right".

This book's been sitting in the pile next to my bed for 4 years- let's see what all the hype is (well... was) about! The first chapter is getting very intense very quickly. Definitely promising.
