Nice Island, Shitty Kids

4 stars

I went into this book with a pretty correct idea about what it would be about. It reminded me of every job I've ever had; a bunch of childish boys trying to decide who's in charge.

What surprised me is that it was actually a nice little tropical vacation of sorts. I should have read it in wintertime.

Short but intense read. After having a course in psychology and sociology, it is fascinating that so many topics are covered. Will read again and annotate.

I read this for grade 10 and remember it being one of the few books I liked in high school. I don't remember recognizing how dark the book is, though. Reading it as an adult I understand how chilling it is. 3 stars because it was good, but I didn't find it riveting.
