This book is the best I have read in a long time. It focuses on important issues in a way that will just make you want to keep reading and reading. It is hard hitting and full of great description. The characters are all very realistic, and you can really believe in their lives. This is on a whole new level from previous Malcolm Rose books, which are all great, but it is really inspirational. I would recomend this book to anybody, not just teenagers. It's a must read containing twists and turns that noone will predict. :-)
