I LOVED THIS BOOK! I am an eleven year-old, I did not think it was very mature for my age, well the violence gets intense at some points, but it is not Stephen K. violence (Stephen is brillant, but very gory, I don't mind). This was the most dramtic book I've read, ever! I bascily cried forever, I only cried that much about a book, when I read The Boy In Striped Pamjamas! I was so worried like it was in real life, and thinking over the book, I swear I am crying right now. I guess there are some "sugestive" events, but I only think there's one, and most kids would not reconize it, so I think only mostly adults would, so no worries there. I just this to say 7 words and a few sentences: Brilliant, Marvolous, Amazing, Genious, Dramatic, Tear-jerking, Sorrowful. Really makes you think; what is life?, what is good?, what is evil?,are all killer's really villans, or misunderstood?
