review 1: James Tipper wrote the book that every student who graduated The C.E.D.U. School would like to write. I was happily surprised that no hidden agenda skewed his honest descriptions of that time and place that we have all tried to share with our family, friends, spouses, children.

He also showed his exceptional writing skills - "The Discarded Ones" is a page turner!

Myself, I saw the parellels between the students and our society as a nation where fear is used to control, where patriotism is used as motivation to do things that make you question yourself. THese pages seem like an easy read, but there is much going on between the lines. I'm still thinking about it. less

Pretty good story. I loved the main character Charlie. Hard to imagine that places like this exist.

Unforgettable story. True, but hard to believe. Stayed up all night to find out what happened!
