I wrote this for one of my status updates but it really represents this book... If a child that was to be aborted (if the law didn't make it illegal the mother would have aborted the child), is not aborted, and later in life goes on to commit crimes such as robbery, rape, murder, is it okay to "abort" them later- as in unwinding? What if that child was your typical teen, with typical problems- no desire to do homework, missing curfew, etc., would it be okay to abort if the teen's parts could be put to good use?This book was simply amazing. The writing is very simple, it is very much a young adult book but at the same time, it makes you think without force feeding you any one side of any one issue. While the book deals with multiple controversial issues, it also manages to entertain the reader. The characters in the book were well developed and you really felt for them and as the story progresses, you often change your mind on your overall opinion of each character.One warning, there is one chapter towards the end that will just destroy you emotionally. I literally sat there with my mouth open thinking "no,no,no". It was so sad.Excellent book, a real must read.
