"When you're five and you hurt, you make a big noise unto the world. At ten you whimper. But by the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain."

raalux's review against another edition

3.25

It's an interesting attempt at a psychological thriller, and there is something to be said about its exploration of teenage angst; however, I was overall unimpressed with the characters and the climax - I was expecting the build-up to resolve in a much more emotionally satisfying way than it did. I was intrigued by the dynamics that shape up between the different classmates, but I kept feeling like I'm waiting for something *more* to happen,

  besides the classmates beating on Ted Jones, which was cool but not as cathartic as I would've hoped
