Totally Inappropriate. Too much violence, kissing, swearing and smoking! The message is DEATH and music. Never Red it!

Read This Book...
This is an awesome book that is powerful in it's writing, meanings, and characters. (Yes, I meant to put meanings with an s because, I believe a books can be interpreted differently by everyone who picks it up.) Andrew Clements is a striking writer that gets better with each story he tells. He has a way of writing that keeps you interested and enticed all the way through the book. He makes each character stand out vividly in your mind with their own unique feelings and personalities. He leaves hints to make you understand the reasoning behind everything he puts in print. I believe that you just have to look for it. This book is five stars all the way to me, as is its prequel, "Things Not Seen".

Weirs is a way to describe it. It is very slow at the beginning and tends to be designed for girls. The end is fast, confusing and has the grandpa dead in the freezer. The girl also invites in a strange boy and an invisible, naked boy?? It was captivating and implored you to finish, however, it leaves you still asking questions at the end.

A great book, but not up to what school story, a week in the woods, the report card, and the jaintor's boy.
