As a high school librarian, I adored "Crank" and recommended it to every kid who was looking for an edgy read. "Burned" was choppy and the characters were underdeveloped by comparison. The ending seemed to slam the events together to force Pattyn into the climax the author intended. I didn't feel a real build to it. As for the religious aspects, domestic abuse can happen anywhere and the LDS seems to be an awfully easy target. I think the book will have an enthusiastic audience, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would.
