Unusual
I really quite liked most of this book. It captures a very interesting and unique view of an "all boys school" both in modern day and during the time of Byron. The end is eerie and a bit disappointing to me but definitely in keeping with the atmosphere of the story.
Yawn
The slowest most boring thing I’ve attempted to read in awhile. Couldn’t even make it halfway through. Oh, don’t forget the underage boys school sexual assault ghosts… stupid and gross.
