What I thought about this book was it was fun to read it was so suspenseful and I love books like that. I liked the way it just jumped right into the story not a bunch of boring useless pieces of information. I also liked the way it would leave off on chapters it made you want to keep reading ahead of the entire class (Which I did do a lot) so that was cool how the author did that. What I didn't like though was sometimes there were parts were it would get really confusing and I would get lost for like three pages. I would recommend this book to my family members and friends because they would love to read all it has to offer and they would be in disbelief at the end when Sam dies. So pretty much I loved the book and I would recommend this to people who love a book with suspense and a twist.
