This was probably the most confusing, crazy, and wild book I've ever read.

The characters were kind of...odd. Christopher was annoying at times. I disliked Niya VERY much. Jumar was my favorite character out of all of them. Well...and maybe Arne...

This was a SUPER thick book, and I'm proud I pushed through, but I had a lot of problems with it;
I thought the sex scene felt totally weird and forced. I mean...why? Another reason I disliked Niya...
.
 
There was more swearing than there should've been. I mean, the characters are fourteen-year-olds! I found some parts to be gruesome and some of the descriptions were gross too. But...I thought the storyline was really interesting. I loved the fact that Jumar was invisible. That was really cool and fun to read. All in all, I really enjoyed this, even though it was a little odd at times...
