The theme of the book is very promising. Know that it is derived in part from real fact was also motivated me to read the book. However I found it very poorly written. It is reminiscent of the books for teenagers (and I'm really nice). In short it is very poor in terms of writing. The characters are bland, predictable, stereotyped phrases have made the painful reading. There must be a will to make it accessible to the extreme to make reading in schools, but it is frankly difficult. Ultimately, it is not a scientific study, but not a good novel. I'm not much emerged informed before and after this book. I wanted to put 2.5 stars but eventually rounded at the top for the value it may have with younger people.
