S.T.A.G.S
by M.A. Bennett
Summary:
This book is about a girl called Greer who goes to a very rich prestigious type of school in England named STAGS. Coming from a working class background she never thought her scholarship at the school was always going to be easy, soon enough she realises she hadn't anticipated to what extent. The school is in-formally run by a group of six students called the medieval's, a team that everyone wants to be apart of. The main premise of the book is when Greer is invited to an action packed weekend of blood sports at the leaders house - Henry de Warlerncourt. Firstly, this confuses Greer because she has never really spoken to him, secondly because she is one of only nine invited. She quickly realises that the medieval's have much more than tradition to upkeep.
Review:
One of the things I liked about this book was how well the writer described the atmosphere throughout the book. It really felt like I was living through the book. Secondly, I liked the overall concept of the book, I loved the whole old-money and traditions story line and how the author challenged the idea that this may be a good thing to have. However this book also had a lot of down sides. Mainly because the outcome of the book was so predictable and there was no red herrings or information that didn't quite fit into place until the last minute. It was all too easy. Additionally the actual conclusion that the book came to had so many loop holes that it felt completely unrealistic and simple. Therefore I gave this book three stars.
