Kung Fu High School by Ryan Gattis
3.0
This book was more of a 3.5⭐ for me.
Kung Fu High School is very creative. It's social commentary on school violence, but set in a world where that violence is pretty much encouraged, and isn't really punished. It was unique, and it definitely caused me to think.
I wish the action would have been a bit more spread out. Not much occurred during the first portion of the book, and then everything went crazy at the end. I'm also not a huge action reader, so I was a little overwhelmed with the second half.
I liked Jen, and it's always interesting to have a main character who makes questionable / odd choices (you'll have to read to find out). I appreciate that she really doesn't care what people think of her.
This is a perfect book for you if you like the high school setting, but want something much grittier and darker. I wouldn't classify this as YA. It's an adult book for sure.
Thank you to FSG Originals & Ryan Gattis for my copy of Kung Fu High School!
