Explanation of rating I rated it 4 stars because it was one of the books that I have really liked. It didn't bore me or seem confusing. I didn't give it 5 stars because it wasn't the best book i've read. It Is not cheesy like a lot of books now days. It also had some really intense parts that makes you not want to keep reading. I read this book all night and I felt accomplished. It gets interesting by the chapter.

Favorite passage: "Now the cool wind is blowing, so I can't stay here while you disappear."- Chapter 7
I enjoyed it because "here" and "disappear" rhymed and it is a deep thought at first. This is also in the middle of the climax and the cool wind refers to
the spirit of Jacky.
