One of the best I have read in this genre since "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. Good character development, and I felt sympathetic towards each of the characters on The List at one point or another. Dealt with some important themes, and showed how something like The List could have far-reaching effects on people's personal lives. My Young Adult reading group did not like this book as much as I did -- they complained that it was not realistic enough -- but I did not think it detracted from the book's overall impact.
