As with many other books dealing with serious issues, Reynolds uses verse to help lighten a dark subject. I loved the premise of the story, even before I got started and I am always trying to expand into more verse-written novels. Like I said, this was my first Reynolds's book and I am very happy with it. As they descend, Will begins to question himself and the three Rules: No crying, no snitching and always get revenge. With each floor, a new person gets on - someone connected to Will and someone who is dead. And so is Dani, Will's childhood friend who gets on the elevator on the fifth floor. That's not the weird part though, the weird part is that Buck is dead. He begins to ask Will questions about what he means to do with Shawn's gun. But once he gets to the sixth floor, Shawn's friend Buck gets on. The book takes place in an elevator, Will is riding it to down from the seventh floor to go find Shawn's killer. The main character, Will, is on his way to get revenge for his brother, Shawn's death. The story, written in verse, takes place over the span of one minute. Thanks so much to Simon and Schuster Canada for providing me with a copy of this book for an honest review.
