This book has me feeling all sorts of ways. Crash was an interesting protagonist, as he wasn't perfect. He did a lot of stupid stuff, and he kind of isn't even a good person at some times. But I think that's what makes this book so great. Crash is presented as this big hero from stopping Burn from blowing up the school, but as you read, you find out that Crash really isn't a hero at all, but just a regular teen who went through some pretty rough circumstances. Reading how Crash and Burn's lives are intertwined with each other was really intersting, and scary in a way. As a reader, it wasn't a secret that the seige was going to happen. It was scary reading something, and knowing that it was something that was going to set Burn off to waht he was going to do, while al the characters just thought it was a nother bad phase he was going through. This was a great book.
