An Amazing Book!

This book has to be one of my all-time favourites. Gibbons writes with such passion and it shows on this book. The characters are amazing and so well structured. It is sad and action-packed. This book is flawless. Nothing short of stunning!

Gibons strikes again!

Well what can i say about this book? Plenty of modern issues are caught in its pages. Definately a good read if you are looking for something differant. It looks through the eyes of several people all with a differant view of the events happening in their small town. The story is woven together with great skill but its contents may not be to everyones tastes.

Superbly great!!

alright...on 1st impression..i totally agree that this book superbly great...to be frank...this book brought up many things in which many people misconstrue about other races...especially the asians (based on the book)....and yet...gibbons knows how to read beyond teenagers' mind...which i think it's brilliant...readers who havent read this book should grab one...seriously...i would rather say it's A MUST!!
