i thought it was a bit boring. i mean I'm not a gruesome person but everyone was all like eww so graphic... it really wasn't. even the pictures that were supposed to be icky really weren't. i did enjoy the book on the whole. it made me laugh and reinforce why i don't like drugs and people on drugs. my favorite part however was like the last line....

"In almost every case they shrieked that the sentences were unfair. he wasn't the only one, marty puccios grandmother cried.
she's innocent, one of lisa connellys relatives said, she made a mistake thats all.
ali willis's stepfather said she was a dumb kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They did not say this:
my child is a murderer. i am sick with shame. when i think of what my child did to another human being, i want to die myself
no one said that. not one person"

and i just really liked this part because its like the truth. and it goes to show just how they really were raised. they did it and they just tried shuffling all the blame to each other. instead of taking responsibility for what they had done. if i had been the judge i would have ruled more harshly on account of the obvious disregard for life and the fact none of them felt truly bad that they killed someone.
