I picked this book up once because it was free for your kindle, and mostly because I liked the cover. 
 The story is about an island of young boys who have had their memories removed and forced to go "into the needle" to a land where they can do anything they can imagine. I had a hard time at first accepting parts of the premise, but as the story developed and you learned more about what was happening, it was more "believable." I would have liked a bit more time with the boys exploring that area, but the book left enough lose ends that it feels like it will be a fun series, but not so many that it couldn't stand alone. I enjoyed it, for what it was. It was a bit predictable, but had some adventure and some intrigue. It was a quick and easy read, but moved fast enough that it was hard to put down.
