I can see what others are saying.... I've heard other reviewers complain that this book is sexist, and going by the sections they talk about I understand why, but I would say they misunderstand what is going on. Though this book is written in second person, it doesn't mean we are not seeing things through a particular person's eyes. In the case of these sections, we are seeing through a fairly immature 15 year old boy, though I'm not saying all 15 year old boys are sexist, of course they are going to look at women, shall we say, in a particular way! Putting that aside, this book planted some intriguing tidbits to really want to make me want to read on, did it bowl me over? No, but it's rare for the first book in a series to do so.
