CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones / Re: CEDU book

The day has come! The Cedu book is out! It's called THE DISCARDED ONES; A NOVEL BASED ON A TRUE STORY by James Tipper and it's GOOD! I just finished it. Amazing. It reads like a novel, but it is accurate and FULL of detail. The cool part is that it isn't obviously pro or con, but he just lays it all out there and you get whatever you get from it. It's exactly like going there again and it is all through the eyes of a 14 year old boy. The end is great! I don't think I breathed for most of the book. And YES, it is going in my parent's stocking. Now, I'm going to send THEM ther I found it on NOOK, buty it is also in hardcover nd KIndle. Engoy!

I LOVED it. It is not about being positive or negative. It is about accuracy. That is what is so cool about it. The author puts you there, holds you there, and doesn't let you come up for air. If it was just a book about belly-aching it would be boring. What makes it so readable is that it is like a time machine: he just lays it all out there and you feel what you feel. Funny you mention "abook to give my parents". That's EXACTLY what I did. It's going in some other stocking I can think of too. Time for the ultimate reality check.

It's called THE DISCARDED ONES:A NOVEL BASED ON A TRUE STORY by James Tipper. I got mine on Nook, but it's everywhere (amazon etc.) I thought it was awesome. He's a former student who is now a horror writer and musician (according to his website) and his writing is excellent. I went to CEDU a few years after he did and reading this book was exactly like being there again. I bought a copy for my family members and friends so they could finally understand what happened so many years ago. I talk and talk about it, but this book says it all. Just FYI!
