Crazy Dangerous
by Andrew Klavan
About the book:
“You probably want to hear about Jennifer and the demons and how I played chicken with a freight train and-oh yeah-the weird murder . . . you’re definitely going to want to hear about that.”
Sam Hopkins is a good kid who has fallen in with a bad crowd. Hanging around with car thieves and thugs, Sam knows it’s only a matter of time before he makes one bad decision too many and gets into real trouble.
But one day, Sam sees them harassing an eccentric schoolmate of his named Jennifer. When Sam finds the courage to face the bullies down, he loses a bad set of friends and acquires a very strange new one.
Because Jennifer is not just eccentric. To Sam, she seems downright crazy. She has terrifying hallucinations involving demons and the devil and death. And here’s the really crazy part: Sam is beginning to suspect that these visions may actually be prophecies–prophecies of something terrible that’s going to happen very soon. Unless he can stop it.
With no one to believe him, with no one to help him, Sam is now all alone in a race against time. Finding the truth before disaster strikes is going to be both crazy and very, very dangerous.

My Thoughts:
Crazy Dangerous started out on a very dark note, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the book. I haven’t read any of Andrew’s books, so I really had no idea what to expect. As the story unfolded, the opening scene made much more sense, and I found myself being drawn into the story waiting to see what was going to happen next.
Once I knew the story line, I had a suspicion on what might happen, but the end still took me by surprise. I enjoyed the following the development of the characters. While the story had very dark undertones, I found it to be extremely relevant to what’s going on in our society today. It was well-written.
