When reading please acknowledge my grammar is not the best as I am dyslexic.

I’m not the biggest fan of the writing. The speech seems kind of scripted, as in it just doesn’t sound like something people really say, it just feels very forced at times.

Honestly i struggled to like Ray, I understand his dad isn’t the best person but Ray is just out right rude and disrespectful I just don’t like his character. The way he treats people for example the girl in the park, it’s just disrespectful, he was rewarded for being an ass. I feel the author should have shown more character growth.

I get what the author was trying to achieve, But I still found a book boring. There was nothing that had me at the edge of my seat, nothing surprise me, Nothing shocked me. I thought as the book progressed I would get ropped in, but I was still just as Bored in the end as I was in the beginning.

I did not like this book at all, it was assigned by my school. the way the author illustrates Ray and his situation lacks feeling and I think he wants the reader to sympathize for Ray it becomes a train wreck. This book was hard to get through. never again!
