Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

All I can say is terrible stereotyping and some pretty disastrous dialogue. It was one GREAT BIG cliché story line with metaphors that were sledgehammers instead of pictures to guide the imagination. Drama, drama and more with some foreshadowing that makes me feel like the person who wrote the book is so far removed from being a young adult that they had some kind of willy wonka warped sense of what life for any teen could be like. I have read some pretty amazing YA over the past few years and this unfortunately was cringe worthy. EXCERPT: "Color leads me to the back of the store and stops in front of an archway that has no door, just a red velvet curtain hanging over the entrance. Above the curtain are the words "Adults Only." "This is the old porn section" she says. "Many a lonely soul wandered behind this curtain looking for comfort." Comfort?? Is that what we're calling it now?" Jesus smiles. "God I love to comfort myself." "Multiple times a day." Moss says, walking up behind us. I peek over my shoulder at him startled. Our eyes connect. He has the same gray eyes as Color. Moss bites down on a chip and says with his mouth full, "In your case, that is, Jesus." "It's important for the soul." Jesus pats his heart and then his hand moves down to his pants. "AND MY FROTHING WAND." My take is that with all the excellent and mind enriching YA out there why give a child this? I paid for it, my 5 Cent opinion, just as you have yours.
