When I first starting reading this book I was turned off. For the first 40-50 pages I felt like a five year old wrote the book. But as the story developed it sucked you in so deeply that I found myself reading faster adn faster to see what was going to happen. It was so realistic that it was heartbreaking yet fascinating all at the same time. I am not sure if the beginning of the book is lacking or if you need to get used to the way it is written in the five year old perspective. Either way this is a wonderful book, it is edgy in its plot, completely enthralling in its delivery and character development and overall a wonderful read
