I love the story line and the plot twists. I wanted to read more and more so that I could find out what happened which resulting made me finish the whole book in 2 days. Whilst reading the first parts of the book, I thought, "this would make a good movie, I'd watch that movie" and then I changed my mind when I read further on because I realised that John was killed and in a very gruesome way too. If I saw that in theaters I think I would feel pretty disturbed and sad about the loss . The characters are so young. The kind of things that they are doing at that age seems unrealistic.
