I loved how this book also tackled a lot of different themes very well. There are multiple times throughout the book where Nick's dad or another adult comments on how the main characters are still children. This is understandable considering that they are still minors. But it also works in the idea that adults aren't always right. Nick's dad, especially, is a flawed character. Nick is faced with this reality. How can this sweet, loving father whom he loves more than anything be the same person who did these other horrible things? I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to start the next one.
I also just want to give some credit to Michael Lesley, the man who read the audiobooks for this series. He is a master narrator. I can't imagine the story being read any other way and I truly believe that he adds something to the story that isn't there in the plain text. I don't have the words to describe how well he does in these books.
