This is a wonderful story that has so many twists and turns it makes all the roller coasters at Six Flags tame. I loved envisioning the plot twists in my head. This is a book that will keep you up at night.

Awesome! I don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it ... kept me guessing until the end!

this was a great book. i have read a couple of harris' books and, in general, i'm a fan.

i could not put this down. something kinda icky is going on the whole time in an upscale boys' school. i did have it figured out well before the punchline. but i liked it anyway. the characters are great - very well defined - i feel like i might know them :) i will never look at private schools the same way!

I am a fan of Joanne Harris, and love her books. However, this is my least favorite so far. It is still a good read, and has a great twist at the end. But if you are looking for something in the caliber of Blackberry Wine or Chocolat, it doesn't quite reach that level.
