I read hundreds of books every year due to a very long commute and try to stick to the classics. This book was availible on audio and I decided to take a leap of faith and try it. I really must say I was really drawn in almost immmediately. However, I did find myself later in the book truely liking and sympathising with Jason to my own horror! He seemed to be a genuinely a good guy, but a typical teenage boy - in fact a rather sweet teenage boy. Trixie, however, was not a truthful character or a believable one. [review edited to remove plot spoilers] Don't misunderstand me, I still loved it!
