language is very academic - certainly not a read for people new to the theory. I'm not sure I ended up uite agreeding with everything laid out, but it was laid out well and clearly.

A book like this lives on its ability to make you understand why the main character would go to such lengths to be in the group/besides the side character. Sadly, this one fails in that attempt by presenting the reader with flat, cliched characters, and is dull as a result.
