This book was about *GASP* bullying.
Now, typically, I run screaming for the hills when I find a book about *GASP* bullying, but the back of this particular book about *GASP* bullying made it sound much more mysterious and delicious.
And it was pretty good; I enjoyed it. I ... I don't know if "enjoyed" is the right word... I appreciated the idea of "Kenny" in Dan's mind. But really, how did he not figure it out? That *SPOILER ALERT* is was the same Murphy's?
And WHAT was up with the end? It was the worst! He's finally forgiven himself, he's faced Jack Murphy and survived, Pop's finally talking to him again, and he's finally, FINALLY let the cat out of the bag about Kenny, and he's receiving real treatment for it, BUT JULIE'S GONE. And Dan's saying nothing matters anymore.
WHAT?! CRAPPY!!
I spent the rest of the evening plotting a different ending. Because that JUST. DOESN'T. CUT. IT.
