On the positive side, this book had a very unique story line. How could it be possible that a child like Danny could be causing sickness in the people that come into contact with him? This intrigued me. It also had a few twists and turns that kept me interested. I also found myself wanting to be the voice for Danny since he couldn't (or wouldn't?) speak for himself.

However, I wasn't completely satisfied with this book. For one, I felt like the story line was a bit slow moving for me. In my opinion, I felt the ending was a bit unsatisfactory for my liking. It seemed like it left more questions than answers for me and that made me lower my rating for it. Part of the ending left me a bit confused and I had to go back and read a few pages a second time. I'm still a little unsure if I really got a good grasp of how it truly ended.

If you are okay with reading a book that leaves unanswered questions, this could be the one for you.
