Becuase there HAVE to be better books than this. I'll admit that I enjoyed it until I realized what the villain was. I like villians to be people that have some reason for doing what they do-even if that reason is they're just crazy. This book however presents a villain and doesn't explain ANYTHING about it.

The deaths were pretty cool though.
