I totally did that thing where I got this out from the library and read it before I was supposed to. This was a very good book, especially for one that I was forced to read for school (I almost always end up hating them, even if I loved them before we did it). It's a short book with characters of all ages and lifestyles so it's extremely possible to find a character to relate with on some aspect. They were all well developed. This book had a message to it, but it did feel like it was forced upon me. I knew that the message about time was what I was supposed to take away from this book and I did without it being all in face about it. I could probably go on for a long time, but I'll wait until my final assignment for that and maybe do a video review if you guys want it.
