[Tomas · Rating 2 out of 5]

The only thing that I liked about this book was the cover and the print.

The author didnt even really try to go anywhere with the characters he introduced. It was as if the book took place in a still mountain, with the same unevolving characters, doing the same boring things in this school lost in Europe.

Its two stars because the ending is quite alright, if only the rest of the book had been similarly written, you could have saved it, and that's a big maybe.
