Quote by Neal Shusterman

“This game could last for days if I keep going unconscious." "Or it could be over very quickly." Lev takes a deep breath and tries not to show any more fear than he has to. "Sounds exciting. I'm in.”

“The transitional nature of the 1920's can also be discerned in what may be labeled a new kind of 'dvoeverie' (or dual faith), a syncretistic belief that combined peasant ways and new Communist practices in tentative and uneasy assimilation.
