Während er knapp das Leben seines kleinen Bruders rettet, der entschlossen ist, zu versuchen, zu fliegen, indem er sich vom Balkon stürzt, wird David Case, 15 Jahre alt, klar, wie zerbrechlich das Leben ist. In der Überzeugung, dass der Tod hinter jeder Ecke lauert, beschließt David, alles zu ändern: Er wird Justin. Aber wenn das Schicksal einen verfolgt, reicht es nicht aus, sich einfach in jemand anderen zu verwandeln, um ihm zu entkommen... "He was strong. Invincible. Bring on your worst, he said to fate." "Indeed." (p.97) David Case is this young adolescent who struggles with what all young adolescents struggle with. As he is grappling to come to terms with the human condition, of which fear and uncertainty is a substantial part, David reinvents an alternative reality, in which he exists as Justin Case (just-in case), hoping to evade or escape fate. "Fate" appears as a smug commentator, dialogue printed in bold typeface, throwing in comments and observations, and even engages the main character in dialogue. The most original twist, obviously, at the end of the book, that Fate has its eye on you, too! I guess kids must be very young to enjoy a novel like this.

Maybe Rosoff wrote this book as a kind of meditation on the meaning of life for people who question if it even exists (meaning, that is). Maybe the point of this book is that you must learn to deal with uncertainty to be happy. It's deep stuff with minimal action.
I think I would've loved this book at 16 or 17, during my own philosophically dark days. It's definitely better with the greyhound cover. ( )
