Leo was an actual kid who experienced so much disaster that no one should have to go through.

The character I like best would either be Darry or Two-Bit. But if I had to choose between the two it would have to be Two-Bit because he is so funny but can fight. I like Darry because he’s always thinking of other people. He wants his brothers to do good in life, and does whatever it takes to make sure that happens. Like not going to college and working to make money for Pony to go to college.

“ In the Woods” was one the most intense and suspenseful piece of text I’ve ever read before. I love mysteries and have read dozens and dozens of mysteries, but I have never ever read anything like this. I would rate this novel a 4.8 out of 5 stars. There were so many things to like about this novel, the plot twists, the crazy backstory behind everything and every character, the hidden messages, etc. I think the author has an excellent way of leaving the readers wanting more, this book was the most pages from all of the ones I’ve read before, but I read this one the fastest because I could not put it down, every chapter was filled with suspense, a hook.
