A great way to talk about persuasive writing. Personally, its long, so I'd break it up because students will start getting fidgety.
Depending upon how serious you take the book, it can be seen as manipulative and inappropriate. Also, many references which younger students may not understand.

It was kind of dry in some places and repetitive at some points. I just wanted the story to actually get done with. I was tired of hearing the same characters ramble about their same problems yada yada yada, I mean, the characters weren't even that likable. The only one I kind of liked was Louise and then all of a sudden we killed her off in the last 15 pages like it was no big deal.
The last 15 pages, my mind was truly confused. The author tried to explain everything that's been happening for the past several years of the timeline in the book in the last five pages???? That is not good writing, that's a good way to frustrate a reader!
I think the only reason the author wrote the ending that way was because she just wanted some hype about her book. Rob? Really? That's how we're going to end this story? With the character that we know the least about that we haven't heard from him at all during the entire book? That's the last chapter? The ending is JUST PURELY SHOCK VALUE. Cheap!
ANNNDDD, honestly, I just can't forgive a book for killing two innocent cats.... cat lady problems.
