Review title: Worth tracking down
Product review: I had been very familiar with the movie for years. I knew about the book for years as well, but it was nearly impossible to find. I'm hesitant to pay top dollar buying a used copy, but I strongly advise looking for it at a library.The book is short, and a very light read. While it starts simply, the characters grow and unfold the longer you read it.Character arcs aren't as straightforward as they're made in the movie.But the really noteworthy thing is that the book has material that is both lighter and darker than the movie.We hear about students doing more cruel things, as well as at least one outlandish prank.The book is considerably more evenhanded in the treatment of characters. Damone comes across more sympathetic, and Linda is detailed in a way that explains a whole lot of her personal motivation.I strongly suggest finding the book. It's a shame it isn't in print anymore.
