Jared C. Wilson

When I read the back of this book I totally got "Tomorrow when the war began" vibes, I had really enjoyed that book,but this was nothing like it. I was really enjoying the first two thirds of the book and couldn't put it down. I wanted to find out what was going on. Then the last third took a twist that I didn't see coming which I would have been fine with except the last third of the book was so confusing. I really didn't understand a lot of what was happening. It just didn't make sense to me. I was really excited to read this book and was disappointed in the ending.
The audience of this book I think would be young adult males and that is evident in the writing. Lots of potty humour in the beginning of the book. Some violence as well with some of it being described a little bit graphically for me. No language or sexual content. Some hints at abuse between a father and a daughter although it wasn't clear to me exactly what happened. But then I feel like I missed a lot of what happened in this book!
