Had I read this when I was younger, I believe I would have enjoyed this book more. The story is too YA for me. However, I loved the character, Silas. One character I did not like was Scarlette. After having gone through so much she still abandoned Bod. It was a letdown. That part did not feel well with the plot for me. Also in the beginning the plot was really draggy and all over the place. The last few chapters were much more entertaining and page-turning.
