I could not understand kojima’s way of thinking at all at times, but not much to say except that it’s sad. What bullies are able to get away with at school is insane.

highfivegirl's review against another edition

A rough read for me. The escalating bullying was tough and then getting through one of the bully's philosophy on why they bully was infuriating. Heartbreaking discussions on self-concept, self-worth, and friendship within the context of its victims.
