Ratings and reviews

I thought I would give it a shot since it's a cheap read, but I'm having trouble getting through the first chapter because it is so overly biased. I will keep reading it, in hopes that it will get better, as it really can't get much worse at this point. There is even a spelling mistake on the first page in paragraph 3, line 1. Edit: I'm several stories into the book now and I'm still hating it. I don't understand where all of the emotional reviews this book is getting are coming from. A weak novel at best.

I love this book because i been bullied myself and not a good thing so it a good felling to know you have people out there that knows what you are going throw

I read the sample but didn't have enough money to buy the book. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD SO FAR! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
