Robert Cormier's YA novel about finding individuality is considered a classic by many. I find myself reading a lot of YA lately and enjoying most. They have a simple intensity that many adult books lack; attributable I think to some degree to grown-ups' dismissal of the complexities of youth. At any rate, this book was not my favorite. I like the idea of faithfully portraying young and mature people with good and bad qualities and letting kids know that adults are just as unreliable as anyone else. I actually liked the ending as well. Maybe I really did like the book. Hmmm.
