Review

This is perfect for 10th grade or higher with a fast pace with explosive consequences and short chapters (some just a word long) that might even pull in the reluctant reader.

Owen Matthews has done it again in creating a book that teens can relate to -- not meeting expectations that are set forth by parents, not reaching your potential according to your parents and heaven forbid tarnishing the good family name -- according to your parents. Well, the main character, Eric, has done all that and much more and in ways that most can't imagine.

Excellent character development with tension building scenes -- you know reading along what will transpire next, but you can't help in continuing to see if you are correct in your assumptions. Readers of John Green's "Paper Town" will enjoy "The Fixes" but with a darker twist.

Overall Book Score: excellent
