It's difficult for a book with less than 300 pages to do everything it sets out to do effectively, but I think this book did it perfectly. It was fast-paced, interesting and just a great read. I loved the structure of the book - with the rumours and opinions of other characters tied in with the boys' perspectives. I can think of nothing wrong with this book, I had a great time reading it and I think it did a great job of highlighting how people are profiled just because of the way they look.
