Rating:  Summary: uh... Review: The story line is great and everything, but the writing is terrible! I found million of ways that the story could have been more decriptive and definetely better written. I'm 16 and I could have written better than that when I was 12. If you don't mind poor wrting style, then go ahead and read the book. The storyline was fantastic, but it sorta seemed kinda rushed.
