Like this author quite s bit. I read this book quite a long time ao so I don't really remember it. But I guess it was a keeper since I had it in the keeper box, But I have to clear stuff out. ( )

Robert Barnard writes books that are very readable. I get into the story quickly and I enjoy staying there until it is over. There were quite a few characters inhabiting this school for boys when you count the teachers and many of the students but once I got them straight it didn't seem like that many.

Barnard does poke fun at the English educational system and a bit at all education. There is an quiet but serious undertone that brings depth to the story. I recommend it. ( )
