This book shows a lot of interest on responibities and facing real reality. Everything happens for some apparent reason.

Every book has some type of setting in this case this one stairs In Washington D.C. and Virginia.

Books that can make you have visual things in your own way by the describing words. The orderly way the book was written you never know what would come next or it leads you through the whole book. The description from the events given you the great feeling to feel what they feel as in the character. The strengths of this book is that you can relate to certain things you’ve been through (text-to-self), you can understand the words, no going to get a dictionary to understand the whole text. I personally only read books that interest me in a way I can relate to and that can happen to bunches of people. Some people take the world as a joke not knowing anything could happen in a matter of a second. Weather you have a problem you could possibly learn it fro never doing it again or seeing someone else go through the same situation.


“My hands are shaking. I look around my bedroom quickly. I get the eerie I am being watched. I look at my cell again. I pick up and press the last incoming call button. It registers at Private Caller”

This book left me in total surprise by the ending. It definite is worth reading. There are more books that have similar issues or context I in it. I think the pure lesson is everybody goes through rough times and sometimes it takes longer to get over something you thought didn’t matter as it was made to see. I love this book’s mysterious ways and upcoming interest, having twists and gives interesting words to continue reading
