This book sucked!!!!!!! I swear I fell asleep reading it, standing up!!!!!!! Sorry to whoever wrote this if you read this, but I really seriously think it shold be taken off the approved reading list at my school, because it could hurt someone to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they make a movie out of it I will scream soooo loud that Karen Hesse all the way out in "who knows where" (cause I tried to look up where she lived and all it said was "i'm in my fourty-sixes and very lucky...blah blah blah) will hear me. Thank you for your time.
