Boot Camp so far

The book Boot Camp started out very slow. Usually I have a hard time getting into a book that has a slow start but the mystery really pulled me in. The story starts out with Garrett going to Lake Harmony, but gives us no real idea of how he ended up on the bus headed there. We meet a few different characters but they keep everything quiet and mysterious. Once we find out why Garrett’s been sent to the camp everything starts to make much more sense. I thought back to the way it was growing up and how difficult it can be as a teenager. I could not at all imagine my parents sending to a place like that. I have to wonder if places like this actually exist. I doubt that any could be as violent as the location in the book though. We meet other characters that rebel along with Garrett and so far have gotten just a basic background of why they are at the camp. Joe is the main villain of the story and its very easy to feel anger at the character and what he does to Garret and the others. David and Robert are kids that have been sent to the camp, yet they do not rebel instead they help the leaders of the camp keep others in control. I can see that an escape plan is in the works. I really just hope I can get some more background on the characters before any kind of major action begins.
