The book is a good read for appreciating different prospectives. I love the range of characters portrayed.
However there are a few things that I disliked about the writing, the two main ones being the way the author writes young people gives all young people this characterisation of being over-sensitive and arrogant, the other is the structure for the writing with minimal punctuation and capitalisation which was a bit hard to follow if your distracted while reading.
