4.0

This book was extremely compelling and disturbing. Jon was a likeable character, caught up in something that quickly spirals out of control. He is very conflicted and heavily influenced by the cult leader, leading him to change his mind about what he believes. It was good getting some background on the boys and finding out about their lives and seeing what might have pushed them to do something this awful.

The themes of religion are very strong and I liked that religion was not dismissed entirely because of a few extremists. It was handled sensitively and seemed quite realistic.
