review 1: As a reader, I was kept on my toes as every chapter is a different point of view often written as (one-sided) interview(s) adding to my knowledge of events. Clever.As a female, I wonder whether it is a commentary on sexism in the workforce as well as bullying? My interpretation of the ending therefore has to be that Cole gets his comeuppance too.As a teacher, I can appreciate the break of conventions in order to develop character with the use of "couldn't of" but I fear my students will see this published and think it is good grammar. I noted adult characters used "couldn't have".
review 2: I really enjoyed this book because I liked the way the author constructed the book. I also loved the suspense the book had; it made you not want to put it down. I gave this
... morebook four stars instead of five stars because it was very good but in my opinion it was pretty scary and a hard read for me. I do not get that scared from books normally, but this gave me the creeps. Other then being scary this book was very good, and I would recommend it to someone with a strong stomach. less

Pleasantly surprised. Asked difficult questions. Made school sound like a living hell.

Incredible. Should be a staple in school curriculums everywhere.
