This was a really good book. Ya'll dumb.
For the people who thought this was a bad book, you guys are stupid. You guys don't know what a good, meaningful book is. You guys take your life for granted. I am 12, in the 6th grade and I read this for my homework in a day. I loved this book. I could compare to it. I don't think the author, who has WITNESSED this whole thing, can "throw in things" in the book when these are TRUE FACTS. I could understand if you guys didn't understand a thing in the book; probably because you're uneducated. "I can't believe some1 published this book!!!11!" Lol, I can't believe someone stupid as you, talkingmajor, is alive in the world. I can't believe you're so stupid someone would make some creature like you come to life. This is sad. You're one of the stupidest people I have ever seen. Go die, please.

Terrible for anyone
This book is terrible! I can't believe some1 actually published this!!! If I had a choice I would never have read it. It could've been an okay book if someone she weren't soooooo boring and if the author actually wrote it, i felt as tho the author was just throwing things in there instead of piecing it all together. One of the worst books I've ever read.
