why YOU should read it
This book is one of my favorite that iv'e read this school year. My all time favorite part of the book to me is the tone of how some points it's scary for one of the characters in one of the fights between the gangs, or how its thrilling at some points. One of my other favorite parts would be that the story is told in 1st person so it's like your in the book.This book is unable to put down
