Reading List Update: Night Runner

So today, I thought I would give you guys an update on my reading list post that can be found here.

As you know, the first book I've been reading on it is "Night Runner" by Max Turner. I have the paperback version (not sure if there's a hardcover version). It's retailed at $8.99 here in Canada, and has 300 pages.

To give you guys an idea of what the book is about, here is the summary:

For Zach Thompson, living in the Nicholls Ward wasn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed unusual and severe allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it seemed, it was home. His diet was restricted to strawberry smoothies, and being the only kid at the hospital did get lonely. But it never once crossed Zach's mind to leave...until he was visited by an enigmatic stranger who claimed to be his uncle and to know the real reason behind Zach's parents' death - and his mysterious sickness.
So far, I've read 15 chapters (there are 44 and an epilogue, but the chapters are fairly short). I've really been enjoying this story. I won't go too much into the details, in case you want to read it (I don't like spoilers too much), but it is definitely well written and a good, easy read.

To me, it seems like more of a teen fiction novel than for my age group (twenties), but it's okay. If I really like a story, I don't care what age it's intended for, I'll read it anyway.

What are you currently reading?
