An amazing book full of twists and turns that leave you guessing! ( ) Jason thinks life is ordinary and boring until his best friend dies. Then he finds out more about himself and those around him than anyone would want to know. I started off being interested in this story. Jason's friend dies of appendicitis and Jason is shocked at the news. But then things get weird (and I should have expected weird because this is science fiction). Who would have thought that the janitor would give out gloves that are really weapons and that allergy shots aren't really allergy shots? And ofcourse, who would have thought that extraterrestrials are everywhere? I do not think this story has a universal appeal. I think it is geared toward young adult males who like reading about the unusual and expected. I am not a fan of science fiction and fantasy so this is not a book that I would choose to read unless required to do so. Awards and Honors: None no reviews | add a review
