The story is great and completely opened my eyes- just like any good book should. The only reason I gave this 3 instead of 4 is because the writing is sometimes too forced for my taste, (ie. "frickin'"). I absolutely recommend reading it.

** spoiler alert ** It was good! Not my favourite, but good. I wasn't a huge fan of how it ended, I felt that it was left a little bit unfinished for my liking, but still good.
