4.5

The book was really nice. There were certainly times were I felt for the side characters who had to take care of Christopher and sometimes there were times that I felt for Christopher himself. I could say that in some ways it was a conflicting book because no side you choose is the right answer and you can't find a satisfactory answer to the question 'what would I do if I was in that situation?'.
