"This difficult read deals with life's cruelty, and deals with complex issues with intensity. Evil in all its ugliness pervades the story, which Robert Cormier sets in a private Catholic school, presenting evil as something that can invade even our own protected lives.\nOnly a few villains cause all the mayhem, and the book exposes them early. However, Cormier won't spare us from life's nasty truths. Readers might wonder, \"Would any of us have done better, or would we make the same easy compromises as Cormier's characters?\" For that reason, this book remains relevant: It forces readers to face the reality of evil, and examine how to confront it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
