I know, I know unpopular opinion. I'm aware I'm on an island of one. I just didn't see the masterpiece that most others saw. I found it very repetitive in parts and I HATED the out of the blue ending. I loved Ryan Dean West and found him more mature than his older classmates but there was still something that didn't connect with me in terms of the character and the story itself. I thought the addition of notes, letters and drawings was a cool part and I did like Annie and Ryan Dean together when they were in Seattle especially, but the stuff I liked just didn't out way the slowness of the book. I hate being the one to disagree, but Winger just ended up not being the book for me.
