Wonderful book. Don't pass judgement on it until you've read to the last page. The first quarter was tough for me to get through, since Daniel was so caught up in Rosh's group that it was hard to see any hope for his character development, but the introduction of Simon really saved it for me. Then we get to see more of Thacia and Leah, who I loved, and finally (and most importantly) Jesus. Daniel was such a difficult character to love, but I just couldn't help rooting for him. Seeing his relationships with different people grow and fade throughout the book and watching him try to figure out what he really wants was a painful but ultimately worthwhile experience. And that ending. No spoilers, but I cried.
