~The struggles of several young people who confront family problems, emotional problems, unrequited love, mystery, and violence, is told from the viewpoint of Matt, who is known for his unusual behavior but who has unusual gifts, and Erin, who tries to use her proficiency with magic to attract Matt. ~

Blech. Another book I didn't finish. Although the plot sounded very interesting, I disliked the characters so much that I closed the book and tried to pretend I'd never "met" them. If I wanted to waste time with weird and/or sad losers, I'd spend all day riding the city bus on the Park Center route.
