Query: An outstanding and fantastic novel.

The only reason I gave the novel 4 stars is because I'm 14 (an adolescent, nonetheless, however not quite 16 years of age as are those characters in the book)--and I found quite a few assumptions made by Knowles in his portrayal of the adolescent mind in general. Nevertheless, this book had real meaning: it was outstandingly interesting. Knowles effectively managed to wield the English language to create a wonderful prose and an ingenius parable. Read this book, it will really surprise you (and, many books I have read I found to be boring and predictable--this was not one of them).
