Bully: A True Story of High School Revenge
joann avatar reviewed on + 399 more book reviews


Bobby Kent was a bully - a steroid-pumped 20-year-old who dominated his peers in their comfortable, middle-class Ft. Lauderdale beach community through psychological, physical and sexual abuse. But on a summer night in 1993, Bobby was lured to the edge of the Florida everglades with a promise of sex and drugs...and was never seen alive again. The tormentor had become the victim in a bizarre and brutal act of vengeance carried out with rughless efficiency and cold-blooded premeditation by seven of his high school acquaintances - including his lifelong best friend - and instigated by one overweight, underloved teenager who believed her life would be perfect...if only Bobby Kent were dead.
