My hate for this book is indescribable. I had to force myself to finish this book. The plot was weak, and bland throughout the whole book. Even the climax wasn't even a climax.

I found this book at the top of one of the piles of young adult books that I own. I hate to dislike a book as I know the author places themselves out into the world with the hope their writing was worth reading. But, I really didn't enjoy, or even like this book. The plot of a huge, mega mall
There are children plucked from the crowds, or lost when they walked away from a parent's control.
These children roam the huge mall and all the expensive stuff they cannot resist!
Gangs form within groups and there is a challenge regarding which group will successfully be in charge of the many night children some of whom like living in the mall.
The book simply imploded mid way. The ending was quite trite. Sadly, this is not a good representation of quality to adult people who like young adult books.
