Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

This book is the only book I have that I put on the realistic fiction shelf and the fantasy shelf. I couldn't figure out where it fit...

This is a story of a boy unlike any other. He has a photographic memory of magnificent proportions, he is a great big brother, oh, and he can take away the pain of anyone he cares about. His solution to less pain is to just care about less people. But then Bronte and Tennyson enter his life.

This book takes the idea of "I feel your pain" to a whole new level.

Told from 4 different points of view, this book unfold the mystery of Brewster in such a fascinating way. I've read a couple of reviews where the different points of view were described as "confusing" and "hard to get into" but I think the point was to see Brewster from the outside and the inside. If this story had only been told by Bronte or Brewster, the intimacy of the characters would have not been there.

I really enjoyed this one, too. It was my first book by Neal Shusterman. It encouraged me to try some of his other stuff. So far I've read Unwind and Downsiders.
