Review
"Coherent, snappy prose...undeniably motivating; readers will feel able to commit to this book...Recommended." (CM Magazine 20070621)
"A high-quality story for reluctant readers...fast-paced, heart-thumping...will appeal to most any upper middle school or high school boy." (KLIATT )
*no details* (Resource Links )
"I.D. is remarkable just for being about something as topical (and, unfortunately, enticing) as identity theft. Then the book gets better by building an actual story (and not a lame morality lesson) aound its issue. It's also so tautly written that I was impressed and engrossed in how it was all going to turn out." (CD Syndicated )

I looked at his driver's license. He was five foot nine, 150 pounds and had blue eyes. What do you know? Same as me. I almost laughed. Funny how we could be so much alike and so different at the same time. Andrew Ashbury got everything he could ever want and I got nothing.
How did that happen? I stared at his face. What was so great about him? He was no better than me.

This review is from: I.D. (Orca Soundings) (Paperback)
High school senior Chris Bent despises everything in life--his family, his math teacher, the 'it girl' classmate who seemed to like him. But the sharpest thorn in his side is someone he's never even met. Chris happens upon a mysterious black wallet on the street one day, belonging to one Andrew Ashbury. Chris tries to return the wallet at first and is discouraged. He eventually starts spending Andrew's money freely, intending to replace it. As his home situation worsens, Chris' desire to leave (and jealousy over Andrew's comfortable lifestyle) grows stronger, and he takes matters into his own hands. I won't go any further, as to not spoil the story. I liked the fast pacing of the story and was disappointed when I realized it was over, though it certainly allows for the reader's imagination.
While the ending was a bit of a twist and left open, which I enjoyed, I think the whole storyline involving the dysfunctional family has been overused. Otherwise, it's a great read.
