An excellent first novel. The author a little full of himself, but I would have been too, if I could write like that at his age. It didn't really add up to anything, thematically, but it was a good way to make the clock tick.

Very interesting and well written. Dark story, and shocking from an author born in 1984, but gives you a lot to think about.

This book was strange. Took a while for me to get "into" it, but it's actually pretty good in it's own way. It has many sad parts when you think of it as a whole. (The rich kids who never have everything except the parents around, the drugs taking over, etc.) As I got closer to the ending I couldn't put it down. And the author was born in 1984!! Pretty good for a very young guy....he says it's all pretty true too.
It's worth a read if you are looking for something different.
