(3) YA Compelling storytelling reveals--in reverse--two intersecting lives. Meticulous crafting allows the story to come out through "the Rider," who is bound to Dan's body and trying frantically to save him from the grisly fate revealed in the first pages. Rather than the aftermath, the Rider probes the origins of Dan's depression and turmoil. The conclusion offers no easy resolution yet is satisfying.
