This is a story about a boy named Paul Vanderman, a normal teenager spiraling down the wrong path. Paul attented high school just like every other teenager and delt with the same normal high school stuff. Girls, bullies, annoying teachers and parents always in your face about your grades. Until he started to hangout with the wrong crowd in school. Paul's school was divided between two type of "gangs." One gang was run by the school's biggest threat and bully, Roth. Roth found physical pain to be fun and encouraged fighting to his followers. Meanwhile the other "gang" kept to themselves and promoted friendship instead of evil. Their leader was Shane. He was goodhearted and cared about his group. Paul started hanging out with Roth and his crew and that's when his life took a turn for the worst. The book goes back and forth from the moment the knife reaches Paul in the rivalry fight to explaining how he got himself into the mess. I think Paul was just lost and only picked the bad gang because he was scared. He didnt want to be known as a loser and was afraid of Roth and his friends. So his only choice was to become friends with them. Even though he knew what they were doing was wrong. Overall, i think it was an interested story with an unforgettable ending.
