This was definitely not the book I'd expected going in, but it was still pretty good -- especially for a YA novel. It had a level of violence that is very unusual for the YA market, but I guess that makes it a bit more realistic. *shivers* This is one book that I'd wager you couldn't guess the ending of it until it actually happens -- there are tons of red herrings, but they don't feel cheap -- they feel weird, in an 'omg' sort of way.
