Why Ellen Hopkins, why??? 
 I was so excited for this book when it was released, I started reading it immediately. By the time I ended up getting to the big ending... 
 Come on Ellen Hopkins, I really did not care for the ending at all. 
 (view spoiler)[ AN EXPLOSION, REALLY? (hide spoiler)] 
 I know there were a lot of different themes to this book, so this was bound to happen, I guess?? But I felt like there should have been a better ending relating to the main purpose of the book. 
 I felt like this book flopped around too many different things, and the main character was really unlikable. I've reread this, and found myself skipping over parts of his whining and power hungry control personality, because in the end, his personality flaw never really turns into anything even though the possibilities were endless. 
 I really thought the end was a cop out. 
 The book wasn't terrible, but for Ellen Hopkins, I was expecting this book to be above average. There was no twists, or really even character development, he was still a piece of shit in the end.
