Reread review: I read this in highschool and was completely engrossed by it. It was creepy and fascinating and I loved it. I still think its a good book and the creepyness factor was still present, but I am definitely pickier about things like racism and sexist language these days and the book contains more of that sort of thing than I would have liked.

Christopher Creed is a nerdy outsider that many kids bullied and even more ignored or avoided. Then he disappears and a hunt ensues for the body --and truth-- of Christopher Creed. Terrific pacing, a touch of the supernatural, and some exciting plot twists make this a can't-put-down book. Highly recommended. ( )

I found this book while cleaning my daughters room. It looked good. It's a mystery involving high school students at an upper-class school in Georgia. It really was quite good. The author does well describing Torey's feeling and thoughts about trying to find Chris who may have killed himself. Per a letter to the school principal, Torey and his pals may be partly to blame! Chris was a geeky kid that was always teased and had difficulty making/keeping friends. I liked the book because the story has unexpected events ( )

This book was a lot like Looking for Alaska but without all the sex and a little bit more mystery. I liked it pretty well. It was kind of creepy, but did a fair job of trying to teach a moral while keeping with a modern day setting. ( )

I loved this. Intelligent characters and an intriguing plot. I don't want to read the sequel, content to leave the mystery intact. Great read! ( )

First words
I had hoped that a new start away from Steepleton would make my junior year seem like a hundred years ago, rather than just one.
