Downsiders
by Neal Shusterman
I enjoyed the Downsiders and yet again, I'm amazed by Mr. Shusterman. It wasn't my favorite of his books that I've read so far but only because his other novels have been phenomenal. Yet again he uses a fantasy situation to get a message to his readers. And unlike many authors, he doesn't spoon-feed his beliefs to you. He lets you see from all sides and provides no concrete right and wrong. I think that makes him more brilliant still. While reading this I couldn't decide if these 2 worlds should ever know about each other, who should "win", or which was better. With characters that you can relate to and pull for, you can't help but get caught up in their journeys. Don't look to Neal for a "happily ever after" ending because in his writing, like life, it's never that simple. I can't wait to continue reading his work.
