Overall good story, I was truly captivated. It was hard to get through the beginning as all I could think of was "the breakfast club" however, I got into it and it was a pleasure to read it. I was not a huge fan of the ending but it was cute. I just wanted more from the conclusions of the characters.

This book is like a lot of other YA fiction books I've read, but the story is pretty drawn out and relatively interesting. I remember reading the early books of R. L. Stine in the late '80's and early '90's and they featured that underlying teenaged meanness, jealousy and revenge that most YA books seem to hinge on.
So while I was mall-walking last night after reading about 50 pages, I figured out the rest of the book and that's unusual for me. I was the person who screamed "NO!!!!" in the theater when that movie Sixth Sense reveals that Bruce Willis' character has been dead the whole time. I was made to be a compliant observer who follows the story obediently and is appropriately surprised so this was kind of a bummer for me. What I am genuinely surprised about is that this book has a four-star rating.
Two things the book does well: discusses the advantages and disadvantages of those who have resources and 'fit in' in society when it comes to the criminal justice system; it also highlights what a big role the media plays in highly publicized situations. It's really sad and scary.

Interesting story. Definitely nails teen angst pretty well and in a pretty realistic way. Some nice twists.
