The author of this book is Pete Hautman. He has written similar books, such as Mr. Was, Godless, Sweetblood, Rush, and Invisible. There are several other books by him, those were just the most recent. A comparison of this book and others he’s published would be that the main characters are teenage boys that are around the same age. Shayne Blank is a boy that confesses to something that nobody believes could’ve been committed by such an innocent kid, or so they thought.
Some of the main characters in this story are Shayne, Maria, Mikey, and Jon. Mikey, a friend of Shayne’s, is facing a huge conflict through out this story because he is in debt, and until he pays up, everyday he is facing the fear of getting beat up. “I'm here, aren't I ? No missing limbs, no ugly bruises, not deceased. Of course I paid him.” So by now he has learned that if he pays, there won't be much pain, but if he doesn't, there will be major aggressive problems. Shayne on the other hand gives an unbelievable confession that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I found this book really interesting because it was all about mysteries, drama, and action. So if these are things that you enjoy reading about, then I strongly recommend that you read this book ASAP. This book is mostly targeted for teenagers, or young adults, because the main characters that take place in the story are also teenagers. This is a phenomenal book, and I really hope that you enjoy it just as well as I did.
