This book was a master piece. My favorite thing about this was the way it was formatted from it being split into Acts, Scenes and dialogue separated by names like what a beautiful touch. Having read very little Shakespeare this was written in a way that didn’t make me feel left out. I was on the edge of my seat and feeling very much like Colbourne I HAD to know the truth. If your a fan of Dead Poet Society or Secret History this is right there with it. The ending is both satisfying yet left me wanting more and more. The characters were refreshing and reminded me of my own group (minus the murder obviously). Pip being the real MVP.
