Denton Little's Death Date

Denton Little has know the date of his death since he was born. Everyone knows their death date. This way you can give your own eulogy, attend your own funeral and get your affairs in order. As Denton's date approaches, he looks to fulfill some goals. He and his best friend Paolo have plans. They have been friends forever since Paolo is set to die 26 days after Denton. Denton's girlfriend Taryn is making things difficult as her ex boyfriend seems to be waiting for Denton to die so he can get her back. Then there is the fact that he and Paolo's sister seemed to have hooked up and Denton can't remember. As the hours tick down to the end, Denton gets a weird rash that turns him purple. But could this rash actually be saving his life? As Denton races through his last day, long kept secrets are exposed and he must run in order to possibly survive. This book is a wild ride filled with action. It is funny and clever and rings true to high school. Paolo is hilarious and inappropriate most of the time. The love triangle is in the background, but adds a few funny moments. Denton is an insightful character that has a unique outlook on life. I enjoyed this book and will look for the sequel next spring. Happy reading my friends!
