The first book was incredible but this one has fallen completely short. I really enjoyed the way the first book was written through the eyes of a teenager and have no idea why the author went in a different direction with this one. It's page after page of unrealistic philosophical dialog between teenagers who couldn't hold their own in one of these conversations in their wildest dreams. This makes it very hard to relate to and therefore difficult to connect with. Such a pity, I can't even finish it
