I don’t know, I guess I expected more from this book. I get that it is fiction, and Yes I get that the kids are ultra privileged, intensely narcissistic, many exhibit behaviors bordering on those associated with sociopaths and psychopaths, they have no concept of money, and their entire world is materialistic. Granted when this describes the people being written about it is hard to be sympathetic to them or anything that happens to them. Oftentimes the behavior of the parents is just as bad, if not worse because they are the ones enabling their kids to behave this way and then are shocked by what degenerates their kids become.
Then there were the teachers in the book, who were afraid of both the kids and the parents so they also didn’t care what happened to these kids. Except the new teacher who thought she could “connect with the teenage monsters, and of course this desire blows up in her face.
I guess we just have to hope that these kids are the minority, otherwise there is zero hope for the future.… (mere)
