Enzo is an old soul! His struggles and insights have deeply touched the incarcerated gang kids I mentor. They tell me Enzo understands how they feel and he inspires them to risk change. Beautiful messages for all of us. Our book club loved this book!

There are some heartwarming moments in this book, however, I could not engage with the characters and came away feeling like I hadn't learned anything new. I would have tossed the book half way through except that it is a book club selection and I felt obligated to finish it.

If getting to bed early is important to you, don't read this book!!! You will be up until the wee hours turning pages...and you will not stop with The Hunger Games, but will be driven to complete the entire trilogy.
