Through half the book Adam is talking to a man that seems to be a therapist of some sort, though probably not, and the other half is about a journey to visit his father in the hospital. His dad stumbled onto a very dangerous secret and the whole family is effected by it.

Weird book. My roommate asked me what it was about when I was almost finished reading it and I told her I had no idea. Where is Adam or Paul. What happened to his father. How is agent 2222 really? I have no idea. But I thought the title was very fitting.

Melinda is raped at a party right before she starts high school and she calls the cops on the party, so no one likes her. No one knows what happened that night either. Melinda tries to deal with what happened by not speaking, but it doesn't work very well and she wants to warn everybody about the guy that did it.

Rape isn't my favorite topic, but I thought this book was okay.

Keir rapes a girl and tries to convince himself he's a "good guy" by going through recent events.

Not my favorite book, by any means.
