review 1: This book's unusual summary made me pick it up at my school's library, and i'm glad i did, i absolutely loved it. Lately I've been blessed with endings I'm happy with!!! ( I mean, every now and then the author kills the protagonist or favorite character, or the romance just doesn't work, so this is a break........) I recommend it to anyone, it has given me a different point of view on people and whats wrong and right, most of all it has taught me about the hard decisions that many people have to make not because they want to but because they have to.
review 2: Hardened teenager Flick is living on the streets of New York, having run away from his wealthy but abusive father, whom Flick believes caused the death of his younger brother, Jude. When Flick is abruptly... more recruited off the street into his father’s alma mater, the prestigious Mandel Academy, the school known for creating bankers, politicians, and other powerful people out of kids who seemed destined for lives of petty crime, Flick is wary. When the head of the school offers Flick the chance at revenge against his father, however, he enrolls, only to discover the school is much more than he bargained for. Far beyond a simple prep school, the Mandel Academy grooms top criminals. At the Academy ruthlessness and cunning are prized, violence accepted, and only the strongest succeed. To survive, Flick has to learn quickly to adapt to the brutal environment, but it might come at the cost of everything he values. Not for the faint-of-heart, Miller’s work is gripping, but includes references to nearly everything from drugs and assault to rape and serial murder. Older teenage fans of works such as The Hunger Games and dark dystopian works will be intrigued by Miller’s suspenseful narrative. less
