The Likes of Me

This was an excellent book and I suggest it to anyone who likes adventure. it is about a girl named Cordy who meets this boy named Squirl. She falls deeply and love with him and will do just about anything for him. That all changes one day in Luna Park. I never thought the end would turn out like that.

The Likes of me

this book was awesome! I couldn't put it down. One thing led to the next, and the end was surprising. I loved it.

An Excelent choice for a reader

the book was the best book i have read in months, it kept me wanting to read more, and not put it down!!!!! for anyone who has a thing for reading books about unique people, i STRONGLY recomend this book!

A great book

In this book Cordy, a unique half chinese, half caucasian, albino girl falls in love with Squirl a mischevios seventeen year old who is working as a logger at her father's mill. When Squirl gets fired, Cordy is determined to follow him, so she runs away to Seattle to live with Squirl and his wealthy sister at Luna park. It is a moving story, that ends in tragedy, but is overall a very good book.

Pretty good book

I think that "the likes of me" is an interesting book, but I think that the end is a total let down. Overall it is a very unique story.
