Honestly, my opinion of this book has not changed. It is still boring, has a flawed plot, and Jake would not do any of this in real life. He would probably burn the Creative Academy to the ground. Also, Jake would not stop being a criminal unlike what the story says. Also, there are so many conveniences like Jake being able to act and sing well even though he never has before and this kid smokes everyday and the just stops smoking. He was clearly addicted! Lastly, the most exciting thing in this is a Sound of Music play and that play is boring! Your opinion might differ but this is what I am getting from this boring and tasteless book.
