Title: Would be 5, but the preachy tone was too much
Review: I thought this book was fantastic, really. But about 3/4 of the way through I started to notice the themes standing out so much that it felt like a fable, I was half expected the last page to say "And the moral of the story is:". The internal dialog got rather excessive and there were many times that I thought, this is a great attempt at a 16 year olds thoughts from the mind of an adult. Great, sure, but it should read so seamlessly that you'd swear only this 16 year old character could have written it. I guess it just could have been perfect if he'd stopped trying to use Miles internal dialog as a way to make sure we figured out all of the little subtleties. And the end would have been perfect if it hadn't been a 10 page rambling on everything that we could have realized on our own.. But don't get me wrong, buy this book. read it. you'll love it. : )
