Pbbbbbbbbbbbth.

Pretty much everyone has read this review, probably, but I still feel the need to add my $.02.

From EW:

Unfortunately, Downham's publisher has handicapped Before I Die by labeling it a young-adult novel, thus ghettoizing this gem to the back of most bookstores. It's a shame, because this book is vastly superior to most so-called adult novels with high-school-age protagonists that have been embraced by the literary establishment.

I'm so tired of people yapping about being so surprised when they read a YA novel and it's, you know, really, really good.  Also? Referring to the YA section as The Ghetto just reinforces the YA = Bad Lit stereotype.

Again -- all together, now -- pbbbbbbbbbbbbth.
