It started off with a boy named "Mann." Their neighborhood was very easy to die. Meaning that it was alot like America. First of all, lots of people in the neighborhood this book talks about have guns, and whenever someone just steps somewhere at the wrong place and wrong time which disturbs

people, they will probably get killed. Later, Mann and his best friend "Kee-Lee" got kicked out of their homes and have to live by themselves. Then their adventure had really got exciting.
In my opinion, this book was really good that I couldn't put it down till I finished it. The ending was very touching, and it almost made me cry, because the ending was extremely touching. I recommend it for readers in the age of 13-17. Inside this book has a lot of depressing love.
