Shadow People...

Shadow People - the title of the book that i had set my hands on for two days... It is good to get hold of such a good piece of narration...It talks about frustrations that teenagers faced before, now and also the future... These pressures will always be the same... Loose ties among family members... Raging hormones in teenagers usually make them think with their emotions and not their minds... Thus, they channel their agony negative... The wildness, the evil instinct to be evil to the others... The feeling that the whole world had turned their backs against him/her... The feeling of hurting and blaming others as the cause of their unspoken and suppressed rages... The writer shows how easily it is for those who have evil intentions to make use of these vulnerable teenagers to heed to their orders... The narration had also artfully describe the evil comes in many forms and disguises... Some may looked good be they are the diabolical ones, the masterminds behind the deviance shown... Apparently, angelic doesn't make one an angel... A bulls eye shot towards the unjust views of the society... This is so obvious at the end of the story as the mastermind is to serve his sentence under the juvenile category and everyone had thought that it is a pity that 'the poor boy who is a genius and a soon to be M.I.T freshman had just the worse luck to mix with the wrong group'... The others were charged for manslaughter and threats towards the security of the society where they were given harsher punishements... Those include an ex-rehab drop out who had gotten the worst penalty of all... The truth of the manslaughter attempt was actually not him although he was the one holding the gun... His conscience got better of him as he hesitates to pull the trigger... The mastermind whose heart was as cold as stone had actually made the shot by pressing the poor boy's hands so that the bullet would kill the sole witness of their deeds... Someone who looked so innocent had a heart as violent as the raging storms in Siberian Seas... no feeling of remorse filled him as he knew that he would soon be free to continue his job through the recruiting of upset and frustrated kids through the cyber world to do his dirty work... However there is a better side at the end, the others had realised their misdeeds and had gotten support from their famillies...This lesson had taught them to grow towards the rightful path in life... All frustrations can be slved through a better way if only they had open up to the people around them...
