Nina is a teen in a dystopian future, living with her mother Ginny, and her sister Dee. She spends most of her life avoiding her mother's abusive boyfriend, Ed, and dreading turning sixteen. When her mother is lethally stabbed on the street, her final words reveal a shocking secret: Nina's father, long presumed drowned, is alive and Ginny is counting on Nina to find him. Nina struggles to make sense of her mother's death and her final wishes while trying to cope with moving herself and her sister into her grandparents' apartment. Nina and her friends now have to find a way to contact her father, who turns out to be a NonCon (a rebel group against the oppressive government) and keep themselves and Dee safe - and there always seems to be more to the story than meets the eye. Meh. I just couldn't get into this book, and the middle hundred pages were a real struggle - but I felt I had to finish because I'd already put so much time into it. I liked the idea the story presented - the danger, the mystery - but often felt myself getting bored with the dialogue and the setup of the story. There was a LOT of slang thrown in from the beginning, which was confusing because I was trying to identify what each phrase meant or referred to while at the same time trying to see where the plot was developing. The whole first half of the book was angsty and slow. It got better at the end, but it was still predictable and instead of building tension, built boredom. Also, I got SO TIRED of Nina talking about how she didn't want to have sex. It was understandable the first few times it was mentioned - she'd found some deeply disturbing pornographic video and was scarred by them, and the fact that she wanted to avoid sex made her stand out in a world where teens are "legal" to have sex at age 16 - in fact, they're prepped for the act from a very early age. I could even understand bringing it up once Nina got a boyfriend to show her internal struggle. That being said, it seemed like every two or three pages (slight exaggeration) her fear/reluctance to having sex was being brought up and thrown in the face of the reader, as if they could have forgotten it in the last few pages. I'm assuming that a sequel will be making an appearance soon; there are several loose ends that are not resolved by the conclusion. Unfortunately, I can't say that I'd be interested enough to read it if it should happen to come out, though.

One of the best mystery stories I've read in a while. Excellently crafted - must visit Hill House. Still think there is a lot of mystery around this murder. A summer must read!

My favorite book of all time! I had seen the movie a 100 times and was getting ready to watch it again when I realized that I had never read the book. It is very different and even more moving then the movie. An absolute must read.

You know, I wanted to love this--I so enjoyed "American Gods"--but this is just too much a fantasy book for my taste. I mean, 90% of it takes place in "the world of faerie." This crosses the line for me.

Worth reading for anyone considering becoming a child advocate.

I thought the book was mainly well writen, clever, and hilarious. There were a little too many sexual and drug references, inuendos, and profanity for my tastes, or what I personally think is appropriate for the suggested age level of 14-17. Truthfully, I got a little lost in the plot wrap up, but that may have been due to my driving distractions while listening to the audiobook. There were laugh-out-loud funny parts and the characters were all pretty likeable. I would hesitate to reccomend this book to anyone, however, because of the content.

Loved this book! I would recommend to any dog lover. I could relate to the stories with my dogs. Made me laugh and cry. Would recommend seeing the movie once you have read the book...book is better.
