(Original review) This book really reminded me a lot of American Idol with a murder twist. I really liked it I could not put it down long enough to eat. I finished it in like two days it was that good.

12/29/13- I didn't enjoy it as much as I remember I did the last time I read the book. I remembered a lot of what happened in the book but there was some things I didn't remember, like who killed Matt. But regardless of how I remember liking it I still enjoyed it a lot. Therefore I'm going to keep the original rating although I would give it a 4 1/2 stars this time around but still good book. ( )
