Reviews

[Samuel Proulx · Rating 2 out of 5]

I purchased this book mostly for the setting; as a Harry Potter fan, I wanted to read another young adult book set in a modern British boarding school. This book did, largely, give me what I wanted. The plot and writing weren't really anything special, but as with most of the BBC Audiobooks I've listened to, the book was well enough read that I didn't really mind.
