Wow. I was totally blown away by this book. It's powerful and raw. The scene of unwinding was deeply disturbing. No doubt this book will be on my mind for days or weeks. Neal Shusterman has a way of writing that slaps you in the face with its sheer, blunt truth. I liked the ending, because, as a reader, it left me with a sense of hope. I look forward to reading more of Shusterman's work.
