Title: Bully's charter
Review: This is a poor novel based on two dubious premises.The first is that grief should be overcome through extreme violence. Aud Torvingen doesn't appear to just murder an abuser, she tortures him to death.The second premise is that people involved in child abuse (and the foster family fit that category) can be left in charge of a child.An intriguing moral dilemma for the reader would be whether Aud is capable of making sound moral decisions by the end of the novel. Unfortunately Stay is not that kind of novel. Aud is always right, even when she's committing a murder. So in her universe there are no grey areas, only stark black and white divisions.
Is the review positive or negative?
