Nick's life is jus I'm so disappointed in the way this book turned out . I wanted to love it so badly ,but it was just bad . Everything is a cliche . Nick's life is just awful , he's a 14 year old boy with a mother who is just 28 . She left home after becoming pregnant because they wouldn't let her keep her baby . His father is a criminal and a creep. Nick lives in a run down house with his mother who can barely make ends meet , apparently the only job available is as an " exotic dancer " ( which seems to happen am awful lot in YA ) Nick finds this incredibly embarrassing. Everything is just an extreme , his clothes are from rhe dollar store , and his mother buys him awful clothes , such as a neon orange Hawaiian shirt , which cause him to be insulted and bullied constantly . His mother talks like this constantly " Nicky Baby , you ain't goin' ta school lookin like that are ya ?". All of the characters and the plot are just one over exaggerated cliche after another.
The writing style is juvenile , which is something I rarely say . I'll just leave it at that . For some reason known only to the publisher the print in this book is so large it should be labeled LARGE PRINT . This made reading exasperating due to the fact that I would no sooner get comfortable reading , only to have to turn the page .
Content ; PG-13 * Language rarely but a few strong words used such as s**t and d**k * References to Nick's evil father and his future of evil which is spoken of as inevitable . He is a good kid at the time . I'm not sure who Nick's father really is ,but Nick mentions hearing a " demonic voice" saying not to talk to a girl . I'm not sure if the author means demonic as in creepy or actually demonic. Either way it was unsettling . * A group of kids robs a couple at gun point , and Nick is shot in the process when he intervenes . * Kids become infected with what seems to be a zombie like impulse . The chunk taken out of the arm is described in detail . * Nick's mother is an "exotic dancer " . A group of kids tell Nick that they saw his mother at " the show " making vulgar comments about her body . Nick sees a woman from his mother's work in her " working clothes " and looks down in embarrassment.
With all of this going on especially the second pont , the fifth ,as well as the chiches I don't feel comfortable continuing . ...more

I don't remember much about this series except that I LOATHE it to this day with a passion ! Her name is BELLY for the love of sanity , run while you still can . I read this when it hadn't been out for long , and for some reason it still irritates me . If you hate stupid pointless love triangles with characters who lust over each other for seemingly no reason , and drag out said drama for three books , then this is for you . If not let me be the one to warn away all the newbies who came here because of all the tv show hype. It's not worth the torture ....more
