The Toll by Neal Shusterman

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

At times, I found this book unbearably slow with large swathes of information delivered without seeming to advance the plot. But the last few lines of the last chapter were worth every page. I tend not to enjoy slow narratives, so that may be a subjective note on my part.
