  <default_description>&lt;DIV&gt;Micheal, Tommy, Mixer, and Bones aren't just from the wrong side of the tracks--they're from the wrong side of everything. Except for Mr. Haberman, their remedial English teacher, no one at their high school takes them seriously. Haberman calls them &quot;gentlemen,&quot; but everyone else ignores them--or, in Bones's case, is dead afraid of them. When one of their close-knit group goes missing, the clues all seem to point in one direction: to Mr. Haberman.  &lt;p&gt;Gritty, fast-paced, and brutally real, this debut takes an unflinching look at what binds friends together--and what can tear them apart. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[My Review:   Wow.  Gritty is a perfect description and yet too terse for the actual drama.  I can get my boys (students) to read this one!  I loved the reality of it, the truth of it, the hopefulness of it, and most of all the gut-wrenching object lesson so well hidden in the personal growth of the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75713401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really wanted to like this book but found it boring. To be honest I skimmed the whole middle. I think it had some interesting ideas, putting kids on &quot;tracks&quot; in school, the plot following Crime and Punishment which they are reading in school, ideas about the inertia of friendship. It has...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75424350">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I finally read a YA book after ages and ages!!!<br/><br/>Anyhow, I'm torn on this one. It follows a group of 4 friends - hard kids, into trouble all the time, anger problems, rage. When one disappears, the others begin to turn on each other.<br/><br/>It follows the same themes as Dos . . .'s Cri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57531261">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Micheal's voice is consistent but not real.  He is very contemplative and cerebral, which seems at odds for a kid who ends up in the remedial program because he won't try.  It is also kind of distancing.  <br/><br/>The setting also seemed a little nebulous to me.  Was it Canada?  Massachusetts?

    <body><![CDATA[What I liked about Gentlemen wasn't so much WHAT was written as HOW it was written.  I'm a fan of sharp-edged fiction, and from my first peek at the cover, I knew this was going to get my attention.  Having worked with troubled teenaged boys, I found the POV character to be fatally flawed and theref...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56783265">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really well-paced suspense novel.  Authentic, believable male teenage characters, which can be hard to come by in YA lit.  This has been a good year for male voices in YA--especially this one and John Ford's The Morgue in Me.  <br/><br/>Recommended! Fast read, too.]]></body>
