Tortuous. This was a painful read. A little too philosophical for me and I can't imagine how this is considered “realistic bullying”. This was beyond extreme and that NO adult ever saw or intervened ever I think is unbelievable. I am not saying nothing gets missed or horrible acts of violence aren't perpetrated on children by other children, but the example in this book are extreme to the nth degree.

And the ending...it was as if the author was tired of telling the story and just wanted to wrap it up in a nice bow. Disappointing. Especially after the excruciating detail she went into during the instances of violence or the bizarre conversation with Momose.
