When John arrives to his semi-non-tech job his new boss Virgil sweeps him up and gives him the grand tour including a corkboard display map that he refers to as Face-board. I would love to give it five stars but for now 4 is being generous and I'll try to explain. Seriously though I liked this book despite some elements of the beginning and the fact that warming up to John takes a long time because he's just a bit self-centered and somewhat clueless about a number of things that are just not right about his life before everything goes crazy on him. Molly agrees and does what any girlfriend of three weeks might do when she calls Johns mom 'Mom'. John is distracted by the obsessive clingy watch and his mothers coaxing to get ready for her to take him to his new job and though it might look like John might have overlooked this anniversary he covers well by insisting that Molly wait for the surprise he has for her that evening at six. We see Molly quickly when she surprises John while he's leaving for his job and she comes to announce she and her father are here to pick him up for their three week anniversary-they've been together a whole three weeks. Before we discuss the demise of Virgil, John's boss we'll discuss Molly, John’s girlfriend. Having no time to worry about it, because his mother has set him up for a summer job (think internship at a computer company-except the company is anti computer and would probably do everything by string phone if they could work that out but as it is being the 411 of a wiki-pedia replacement for old folks is hard enough without that whole ball of string thing.) John’s new boss has bought him a motorized scooter from which he can facilitate house calls as their instant messenger but is that a low enough reason for John to kill his boss. This is no ordinary watch and once it seats itself on his wrist it refuses to let go.

He finds a strange watch, with leather strap, and does what any level headed teen might do and tries it on. John is a simple teen living on an island in the Florida Keys. John Gone(The Diaspora Trilogy)by Michael Kayatta
