raalux's review against another edition

3.25

It's an interesting attempt at a psychological thriller, and there is something to be said about its exploration of teenage angst; however, I was overall unimpressed with the characters and the climax - I was expecting the build-up to resolve in a much more emotionally satisfying way than it did. I was intrigued by the dynamics that shape up between the different classmates, but I kept feeling like I'm waiting for something *more* to happen,

  besides the classmates beating on Ted Jones, which was cool but not as cathartic as I would've hoped
