well that didn't take long to read .... !
first off ! I really LOVe Patrick Ness , i got so freakin' pulled in by the book , that i forget that an actual human being , wrote it , with their hands , on paper . no joke .
It (again ) made me question what on earth I'm going to do in the future ?! ( questions are good things . )
the whole “ lets try and graduate before the school blows up guys !”concept was what kept me intrigued as well as the following :

+the teenagers had regular problems and were also diverse ! (#gorealisim)
+JARED WAS A LINE BACKER ( also math geek + g(y)ay
+a few tears were shed ( the characters cried too ,cmon)
+it ridiculously relate-able yet heart wrenching ( aren't most books ?)
+the cover and spine in general were quite pretty ( Quite , meaning quite artistic )
+I want to live in the world with all the indie kids and vampires and gods , even though college still exists there !! ( not forgetting exploding education facilities )
+ so much happened in under 400 pages
+Nathan ( drunk , dorky , hated ? ( why ?! ), loved )
+ going and convincing the world to read this book is now my sole purpose in life
+spooky deer and exploding cars are fun
+WHol book in general
+The never ending need for a sequel despite knowing what will happen to the characters .

Just about everything I adored about this book down in one review . * smiles* .
The book was the most perfect of perfect thing I have read in terms of contemporary books to date .

go forth , and read , . the book :) *

love , wordswolf
