Nice recognizable subcultures, and the whole school vibe really works with the plot. They captured the perfect amount of teenage angst and mixed it with the cynicism needed for such a dark story.
Kind of “fear and loathing meet sin city … in high school”?

However, for me the violence was sometimes a little too over the top (even though I know this is a book about murder) and I could've done without the homophobic slurs. I understand this is set in a "different time" and can add to the characterisation of whoever is using this language, but I honestly believe you don't have to use it to make your point. There are other, more subtle ways to achieve the same effect.
