The book is easy to read and understand it isn't filled with a lot of jargon that would deter readers. I was surprised by the fact the book had so many current statistics on suicide, depression and drug abuse in American colleges and how this can be possibly avoided by following Christ at all times during the four or six years people spend in college. I wish I had read this book when I was in that age, it would had saved me a lot of headaches and I would had avoided really stressful situations that have traumatized me.

I am in charge of our Senior School library and am looking for a diverse array of new books to furnish their shelves with and inspire our young people to read a wider and more diverse range of books as they move through the senior school. It is hard sometimes to find books that will grab the attention of young people as their time is short and we are competing against technology and online entertainments.
This was a thought-provoking and well-written read that will appeal to young readers across the board. It had a really strong voice and a compelling narrative that I think would capture their attention and draw them in. It kept me engrossed and I think that it's so important that the books that we purchase for both our young people and our staff are appealing to as broad a range of readers as possible - as well as providing them with something a little 'different' that they might not have come across in school libraries before.
This was a really enjoyable read and I will definitely be purchasing a copy for school so that our young people can enjoy it for themselves. A satisfying and well-crafted read that I keep thinking about long after closing its final page - and that definitely makes it a must-buy for me!

I really like all the info in this book! Of course our high school library will be buying this book as we are a Christian based school! I do like the focus is on what the consequences of your behavior can be and that it will follow you maybe for all your life!! Will be purchasing!
