3.5 stars
A quick, suspenseful read. It all seemed believable. That
there would be kids out there willing to risk their lives for a little
bit of cash - ok, a lot of cash. The portrayal of a poor, depressed town
was well done. It really added to the story and made the sense of
urgency all the more real for the characters. There was a scene near the
end that hinted at one of the characters having OCD. That wasn't ever
addressed or even hinted at in the beginning. I was just curious why it
was stuck in there. The ending was satisfying like a cool glass of iced
tea on a hot summer day. I love when the reader gets a glimpse of normal
life after the panic inducing elements of the majority of the story.
And since I said panic, I would be very curious to know just how many
times the word panic/panicked was used in this book. I bet it's a lot.
There was some curse words including a few f bombs.
