Exit Here is a thrilling novel about a twenty year old named Travis, who returns for the summer expelled from Arizona and his mysterious trip to Hawaii. Everybody questions his recent return and wonders what made him change. But, Travis gets into his old habits again, a lot of drinking, a lot of drugs, and a lot of sex. He meets up with his old buddies and as time goes on, Travis doesn't change. Travis has to deal with h a broken up family. His dad, who owns seventy five percent of the city, is always pushing Travis to go to USC. His mother, who is very naive, is an alcoholic. And his younger sister, who is taking the same path Travis was, is a druggie and can't control herself. If his family wasn't enough for him to handle, Laura, his ex-girlfriend is playing tricks with his mind. All he wants is to win her back and everything would be back to normal. It's not that easy, as you will see. Throughout the main chapters his memory cuts in, as if he were dreaming, revealing bits and pieces of his eerie vacation in Hawaii. Exit Here is a fantastic story that will take you through this wacked out guy's journey of life.

I strongly recommend this book because it is interesting and fascinating. I honestly could not put this book down. And although it seems lengthy, it isn't. I recommend this to people who enjoyed Street Pharm, Snitch, and Crank. Also, this story has very foul language. So if you are a person that doesn't like bad language DO NOT READ THIS! If you don't want to go out and buy this, I will gladly lend my book to the first person who asks, it seriously is not a book to pass up.

I think id like to read this book because for one, it seems like a teen read... like something a kid my age would be able to understand, and comprehend better than someone older... and 2, im not offended by bad language, sex, or drugs, in fact.. thats more than likely what keeps the book interesting. Morgan, may i please take this book from you!?!?!?>!

Wow, this book look great. I think I would really enjoy reading it. It seams like it could be a book read by kids my age. The sex, drugs, or language does not bother me I think it contributes to the book and makes you want to keep reading it. I also noticed the author name is the same as mine so that even makes me want to read it.

This book seems like it would be perfect for many kids in our grade. It deals with issues that most of us would find interesting. I read the book Street Pharm and I liked that book so I will probably be reading this book next quarter.

From reading the post, this sounds like a good book to read. It seems that it would be easy for teen agers and young adults to read, also the book sounds like something that you can't put down until the last sentance.

This sounds like an excited story. The storyline seems like the most exciting aspect of the book. Also, to most kids our age, this book can relate to us, in some way or another. Which will most likely keep me reading.

This sounds somewhat similar to The Perks of Being a Wallflower and maybe somewhat like The Catcher in the Rye which are both incredible books. I specifically like books with a realistic first person perspective its really easy to get into that way. I will definitly read this.
