Review- Try to go into this book with knowing as little as possible.  All you need to know is it's a summer book!  I read this book a little while ago and underestimated my memory so this review won't be as detailed as my others.  Overall, I enjoyed the book but I did have a few problems with it.

The pacing of the book kind of made me want to rate it a 3.5, or at least a 3.75 but the whole story and the writing- holy bananas!  This book was all kinds of amazing.  The whole story was awesome and the writing was beautiful.  At times, I had some trouble with the writing; as amazing as it was, it was written like a modern-day classic.  Personally, I struggle with keeping my focus when it comes to writing like that.  Also, as wonderful as the story was as a whole, through out the book, I couldn't help but wish it'd pick up the pace.

I know it's not much, but that's all I have to say about this book.  I do know, knowing what I know about the book now, I will want to reread it someday!
