I'm a little upset that everyone else seems to have read this book as a child, but that I missed it. 
 I really enjoyed this book. The universe was beautifully built, Jonas' character developed at a steady pace, and the plot kept me interested throughout. 
 I'm very excited for the second book, but worried about the movie adaptation. I just can't see this book being done well on the screen, but if it brings more readers to this story then I'm glad they're attempting it.
