This book was somewhat depressing. It was good though. This wasn't the kind of book that I just couldn't put down and there wasn't very much romance. There was some lust maybe, but that's about it. The book was about a sixteen-year-old boy who lives with his alcoholic father and who has barely any contact with his estranged mother. He's really lonely and obviously, steels cars. The boy ended up in a juvenile detention center for a period of time and throughout the rest of the book he couldn't break past the stereotype accorded him through that experience. The book ended on a somewhat positive note considering the rest of the story. What was tragic was the fact that this boy could have had an outstanding life had he had any encouragement from his family as he showed talent in academics and athletics. All the family he had though, was his father. I would give this book a 7/10.
