“The IM'ing gets extremely annoying after a while (it shows the bad writing skills that teenagers use these days because of "internet talk"), and the characters in this book also made really stupid choices that make them unlikable. They are just the kind of people I try to avoid. I don't think that I'll be reading the others in this series any time soon. Don't get me wrong, it was quite a creative book, but it just didn't appeal to me.”
