This really reminded me of The Outsiders with its tale of delinquents, and was also a good read. I was in suspense!

3.5/5
This was much better than I expected! I picked it up for the cover and I was pleasantly surprised by the contents. I think the inside jacket description isn't very accurate to what happens in the book, or the characters relationships, but the story I got was better than the story I expected, which made it okay. I liked the ending, but there were parts that dragged in the middle, and I found the perspective character, Mike, kind of unpleasant to follow around. I will say this book really makes me want to read Crime and Punishment, though, so Northrop did a good job on making Dostoyevsky sound enticing.
