This one grabbed me right from the start, and it started with a BANG! I know you all must have read some of the other reviews and you know in general what the core of the book is about, so I won't go into it. But what I felt was that it poses a moral question for us all. Did these boys deserve to be punished more than the punishment that life handed out to them? Was it all their fault, or did the young girl deserve an equal part of the blame, and could this/does this sort of thing happen in real life? I think we know the answer to the last question unless we're very naive. Of course it does! As parents of teens, if this had happened in our town, what would our reactions be? This author gives us a lot to think about. Excellent read.
