This book was hard to read from the start. Eventually one can infer what is going on, but very little is explained plainly. The copy I read was from the library, and there were mispelled sticky notes throughout with what looked like two middle schoolers trying to figure out what was going on. (For instance, "Why is Beatty ask about the dog? Dose he know where the books are?")
The ending is alright, and I really liked the quote about how the inability to builds creates a need to destroy.
