Paul deserved better parents. It was a good story and the setting was nice but Paul didn't deserve that ending.

I've become somewhat jaded with this series which has provided more misses than hits, so it was a nice change to have a well-structured story with enough going on in it's slim volume to keep me guessing. From the class's palpable fear as they knuckle down to try to out-perform each other, to the deliberate acts of sabotage to their projects, this was an engaging read. Okay, the adults were just as moronic as usual but there was a welcome lack of the token bully. The ending was somewhat daft but in keeping with the series as a whole. The final twist was actually quite apt, if predictable.
