I loved this book. The way Collins pours emotion into the book is incredible. How Collins can make the book have such a big twist amazes me. The thoughts Collins puts into the characters’ head makes this book so hard to put down. After I finished this book I still couldn't stop thinking about it. I would recommend this book to anyone above 5th grade and who can handle a little violence.
