Title: Awful, trite and contrived
Review: This is not my usual fare- so perhaps I'm disqualified- but this was an awful book. Banal language. Cliché sentiments. Metaphors and similes stretched so thin they were almost breaking. I thought if I had to read ONE MORE thing about stars and fire and how brave and strong the father is I was going to lose it. And the son, Jesse, is every mild-mannered woman's image of the "rebel" kid. Give me a break. There are so many coincidences in this book it makes Jane Eyre look realistic. Unless you are accustomed to reading trashy novels, don't bother with this.
