I've heard this book described as a "Lord of the Flies" set at boarding school. Um, yeah. That sounds awesome. And it is. From the second Benson sets foot within the grounds of Maxfield Academy - which happens within the first several pages, mind you - things are intense. Examples: there are no teachers, students have split into gangs, cameras watch everything, everywhere, and no one ever leaves the campus. This book is fast paced and near impossible to put down. Benson is not a perfect person, but he has a good heart. He tries to do the right thing in the upside-down world into which he is thrown. He is on a constant lookout for answers and while that narrow vision sometimes had me pulling at my hair, he is a fabulous reluctant hero. 
 And then of course, there's the twists. This book is FULL of them. Every time I thought I'd figured something out, Wells threw another curve ball at me. And the ending. Oh boy, the ending. I can't say much else without spoiling things. Just get your hands on this.
