This book was certainly not what I was expecting, having heard all the fanfare about it. The story is told from a teenager's point of view, so the writing, understandably, reads like something a teenager would write. The language was far too simplistic, along with the sentence structure (subject verb, subject verb, subject verb), and these combined detracted too much from the story for me. I felt like I was reading the diary of my 16-year old sister. However, this was a very, very quick read.
