4.5 Stars. Reading the Mad World series from Shane's point of view was a treat. His raw view on the life he was thrust into was heartbreaking, but his hope and his willingness to grasp what being human is, was completely awe-inspiring. 
 Still, the humor of Lea and Grace made me laugh out loud. Alex's innuendos and Ethan's protectiveness, even Tucker's sliminess rang true to certain personalities that I have encountered in life, and I enjoyed all the interactions between them all. The hardest thing for me to get around was the repetition of self deprecating thoughts from Shane, but it helped show his growth as a character in the end. 
 Then the looming thoughts from Michael will keep me wanting more story later on..."Evil can never hide itself for too long, Shane. Its ego is too big to be heard or seen for so long."
