This book was moving and scary. It showed the raw impressionability of people and how easily people can be swayed in order to gain acceptance from peers. It is a quick read but it is a deep read as well.

The story is of course well known and quite interesting. But I was surprised how weak the writing is: Just claiming emotions, adding flavour every other page, etc. Due to that, the book feels like a way to transmit a story to a school visiting audience and not a piece of art in its own right.

Amazing, hope EVERYONE learned their lesson. too much of anything is bad.

Musste es wegen Schule lesen,war aber überraschend spanend(manchmal).
