Devil's Race by Avi
2.0
Another one I would give two-and-a-half stars to, were it possible.
I found this at a library sale for 50 cents. The cover (not the one pictured on this edition) intrigued me enough to buy it. It wasn't until later, while adding it to Goodreads, that I realized it was a YA book. I'm certainly no longer the demographic, but figured I'd read it anyway.
It was enjoyable. And I know my 13-year-old self would have gotten a kick out of it. It had a bit of a "Dark Half" vibe, and the lead characters were far from the stock "teenager" you risk finding in these types of books.
Avi's a good writer, and the story is paced very well. So my two-and-a-half rating is from my adult self. My 13-year-old self would probably say three. Do with that what you will.
