Quiet Desperation

Summary: I was disappointed
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book based on articles in the local papers about Mr. Arts, but boy, was I disappointed! It's full of anachronistic stereotypes (Irish cops who call each other "mick" [in late 20th century Passaic County??], evil Hispanic drug dealers with no morals) and the descriptions of violence are unnecessarily extreme. The main storyline was pretty humdrum. I was surprised that none of the parents in town seemed to mind that it was required reading at Clifton High. -I gave my copy away.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I'm a veteran mystery/thriller lover and this is one of the worst books I've ever read. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Fantastic Novel
Review: It is a very thrilling novel and I enjoy it very much. David Is an Incredible human being, even though one of his students, Marcus Gagnon would repeatly get hit in the leg with a 18 wheeler frieght truck, we still struggle to put the good times in his period 3 class room. On another note, My name is not Nicole.
