Really didn't enjoy this book. Found every sentence and line cringe inducing cheese. Found the 80s retro vibe to be self indulgent and too much of the author's own voice. It was very lazy in sending out its social message to the world and the villains in the piece were so two dimensional and trite. There was little emotion and the teenage romance seemed put on. I was so disappointed with this book, I'm sure Spielberg will make a halfway decent movie but for me the novel was extremely bad.
