The book was a little slow to start out, but there was so much depth in the middle of the book. The idea that we trap ourselves in our own fear and how self doubt compounds into a life consuming monster were a few of the themes explored. We also see one of the characters suffering from manic depression, a mental health issue rarely shown in books.  This was an absolute gem from Shusterman's early novels.
