zombiezami's review against another edition

4.0

This was a fantastic social thriller. It was heart-wrenching to read about how this fictional school abused students, knowing that in real life, so many adults think you can brutalize children into being successful adults. 

There were a few plot threads that felt like they weren’t explored as much as they could have been. The ending also felt abrupt.
