So I finally got around to reading this, and man it was incredible! Totally regretting not reading this one earlier! I had no idea what to expect, as I'm not a blurb-reader. After reading the book the cover makes sense, but it was rather different from what I had anticipated.
The venom: Wow I loved this idea, and to be completely honest I loved the whole venom! Particularly how honest it made him. It totally made him speak his mind, and I believe it's how we should all be all of the time. Well, not the violent side, but the honest side for sure. Each time the venom popped up I was rooting for it.
Locke: I kind of want to say I couldn't differentiate him from the venom, but I really do love how concerned he was, and how protective he is, towards his friends and family. He's really caring underneath the venom, he's just worried. And the way
he agreed to councilling and took it all on board, actually tried, was totally inspirational.

Renee: I cannot believe her back story!
The death of her parents!! I'm also so pleased that she's been so straight-up with Locke about how she's her own person and doesn't need protecting, and she can't be owned. I totally agree with what she did and how she acted after Casey and Locke's fight.

Casey: Well he was an interesting character, that's for sure!
Someone else with the venom! The way they both attacked each other at the end was worrying! At least they know they can't blame each other though.

Lon: What a sweet little kid he is!

Overall, this was an amazing book with an amazing cast of characters, each of them so diverse and memorable. The Goth chick with the mental disorders, the one with anger management, the gay one, the normal best friend. So good! I feel like the ending didn't clarify much though.
