adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Enjoyable, not terribly taxing. If you've every been to the Berkshires, or in a school for rich, difficult adolescents, check it out. (  ) gretchenlg | Oct 19, 2008 |  Santangelo Academy is unique - a crazy school for crazy teens and their equally crazy teachers. The students all have "behavioral problems" (like beating people) and are on medication. The teachers too have past "issues." Madeline Dare, the newest teacher, has a secret or two herself. The headmaster, guru, chief therapist, David Santangelo incorporates some rather unconventional techniques into his educational philosophy. His methods are dubious, to say the least. Two students die in an apparent joint suicide after a party (I use the term, "party," loosely, because Santangelo Academy is not a partying place) - or, as Madeline suspects, was it murder? She, too, drank the punch and became extremely ill - was it poisoned and by whom? I really like Madeline Dare. She's strong, resilient and quick with an acerbic comeback. I thoroughly enjoyed Read's snappy dialogue and her feel for the setting and context of her characters. And, for once, I didn't guess everything before the end. A fresh, new find for me. I had fun - and that's a good thing! Think I'll try her other Dare book - Field of Darkness. (  ) Vidalia | Oct 2, 2008 | I love this book! I immediately ordered it when it became available because I was so excited about Field of Darkness, her first book! The characters in Crazy School could have, in most parts, walked out of any high school in the country. Maggie does an excellent job in dealing with not only her charges, but the bureaucracy involved in an institution. The final paragraph says it all..... macygma | Aug 27, 2008 | Madeline, aka Bunny (yep, she's a Wasp), attracts trouble of the most deadly kind. In this second book, she has reluctantly taken a job as a teacher at a school for very troubled teenagers, run by a headmaster who seems more like a cult leader than a principal. It strained my credulity that the goings-on there would have been tolerated by anyone (especially the spunky Bunny) for more than two minutes - but the writing zips along with a refreshing energy, and you've gotta love Bunny and her foul-mouthed ways. (  ) emitnick | Aug 11, 2008 | Something doesn't smell right in the boarding school for troubled teens in the Berkshires. Maddy Dare is a teacher (although I found the hanging thread of being shot while she shot someone? never explained...) in this bizarre institution. Sparse narrative. Well written. Good voice and excellent character development. Enjoyed the twists and turns, and I do not like mystery as a genre! ( ) coolmama | Jul 24, 2008 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
