While I really loved this book, I felt there was a lot left unresolved at the end. I also feel like the principal rivalry should have been explored more. Loved the Ferris Bueller's Day Off cameo.

While I understand the importance of this book, both the story and the character of Laura fall flat to me.

I think the ending was a bit rushed, perhaps would have been a good duology, but otherwise a good book

I knew that this book was going to be strange (that's why I chose to read it) but I still found myself shocked at how strange it was. With the plot twist, one must wonder if any of the characters besides Samantha are human.
