This book wasn't that interesting for me. To me, at 16 years old, the book sounded like an old person trying to talk as he/she was a kid. The slang is dated and unpopular. As far as plot goes, it started off kinda slow but picked up about half way through and ended with a big bang. So that was good. Also, it very, very repetitive to hear a play by play of every meal they ate through the entire book. The idea and plot in this book are interesting and even compelling; however, the writing is choppy and bland.The authors attempt at making a first-person story from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl to be very unconvincing. I felt as if Patterson was really writing her as if she's was a boy but calling her a girl. Maybe he tried to appeal to more people that way but I find it negatively affected the character.

This book is definitely a good read for kids under 14. However, it might be very interesting for people looking for a very quick read and something to pass time by.
