Review: The Brutality of Youth
Rating: 5 out of 5

After reading this book I became aware of just how lucky I was to avoid (for the most part) being bullied as a youth. This particular English boarding school seems a very nasty, violent place for youngsters, and Connal shares his experiences in vivid detail, without pulling punches. The book will make you laugh at times, and at other times simply feel sorry for the children trapped in this situation, especially the narrator/author. Very riveting.
