The Pact Pages 1-67

      This book started off really sad and depressing.  It is a book that you really have to focus for because it flips back and forth in time to before the two teens are shot and one dies.  I really like the memories when it flips back in time.  It is really neat the the author thinks of new and creative things to use as memories.  Things such as truth and dare are normal but she adds things such as the ultimate dare that really "spice up" the work.  I have really have times were I have had to stop reading this book because of all the death and talk of death is so sad and overpowering in parts.  This I really dislike.  (vocab that describes this--bathos)  There are also parts that make me want to keep reading because they are so hilarious.  My favorite part of the book so far is when Gus, the mother of the teen boy, finds a mature book under her sons bed when he was nine.  I find it funny because he says that the things he saw in the book will never work. It was a funny flip on the "sex talk" all parents must give to their kids.  My least favorite part is the autopsy results.  Finding out that it had to be a homocide and that the girl was eleven weeks pregnant is so sad.  It is even sadder since they think the boy did it.
