    I would be more than likely to read it over and over again. The best characters of the book, in my opinion, would be Ellery, Colter, and Jackson. Ellery isn’t only my favorite because the whole book is mainly about her. She had a funny personality, but was irrational at times and blamed everything on herself. She was very mournful and wanted to be left alone until Colter happened.…

    Again dehumanizing and survival were involved in this book and I think it’s important to understand what was happening in between the lines of just getting beaten. Most people think that violence would be the theme for this book, but in reality Dave became numb to the pain.
