Remember, I'm reading this as an adult, so add salt to taste. I was a fairly generic adventure featuring runaway kids who don't want to and don't have to grow up. For all of that, they behave like little adults with power plays, manipulation, plenty of violence, and assorted little clubs that hate each other. Come to think of it, they act like the adolescents I grew up with. Still, the story was fairly derivative. Solid, but nothing special.
