Be aware that despite the main character only being 14 y/o at the beginning, this is most definitely not a story about kids being kids. The story is violent, there is a lot of vulgar speech and cursing, and there is sex. I do not mean that these concepts detract from the story; they are a part of it and of what the kids are experiencing. It is a gripping story and will entertain even though it is rather dark. I did find that the last hour was confusing. The narration is fabulous.

Enjoy; is worth the credit or cost.
