He's Crazy!
Half-way through the first chapter, I couldn't even believe how much PROFANITY I had already encountered. Not to mention the nightmares described and the SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. Oh, and don't let me forget the downright NEGATIVE MESSAGES, both DISTURBING and DEPRESSING. By the end of Part 1 I was convinced that 1) the narrator is insane 2) this is not the book for me and 3) it's much TOO VIOLENT for a 13-year-old.

Reality Check.
In my opinion, this is a very educational book. I love how he uses figurative language, and how the author hints at certain things. For example; Ben committed suicide. Cormier didn't just come right out and express that Ben was going to kill himself, yet he explained it all the same in the context clues. And in the end with Ben's father Marcus, Ben is dead by this time, but the ending shows a conversation between Marcus and Ben. Explaining that Marcus now has a split personality with his deceased son, and is in treatment at a hospital. Overall, it was extremely interesting, and can be read for students ages 14+. Terrorism is real. It shouldn't be something that you hide from your children. It's a reality.

this is a weird book. i advise that if you are going to read it get someone like an english teacher or someone of the like to explain it to you as people may not be who you think they are

Totally confusing and psycho
I had to read the book for an english assignment. It was so compelling and yet I didn't like it. The plot got more confusing as it went along. The ending didn't tell what happened to the people like Miro and Ben and his dad, it just sort of came to a stop.

Kind of Disturbing...
Overall, it's a pretty decent read, if twisted stories are your type. It's not necessarily for young kids because it can be pretty disturbing and also somewhat confusing, if you have a hard time following complex stories. You may need someone to explain certain parts, because the author leaves a lot for you to just figure out, and it's not always easy. If you plan to read it, I say good luck and be prepared, because it's very violent and full of death.

AhhMazingBook
i think its good for ages 14 and up.. even though i'm 16 and am just now reading it. i'm probably a bit more mature for being a 16 year old, but for anyone that is more grown up than their age intends, its a very good book. i plan on reading it more than once, for sure. Violence isn't too bad, not for 6 years olds though ;)

Good but not Great
This book has to different story lines. Thus it makes the story harder to follow what is really going on. But if you read the even chapters (parts) first and then the odd it is easier to understand.
