 Rating:  - Creepy teen mind candyEven years later, there are lines from this book that still haunt me.

Yes, the idea was that of Mark, a psychopath (the book even describes him as such), but even so, he did not strike me as being anywhere near charismatic enough to persuade any of his classmates to kidnap a teacher. Susan was clearly meant to be the novel's heroine, but quite frankly, I wanted to smack her. She was supposed to be smart; why couldn't she see that the ...
