Compelling Aspect of the Book: This is a very engaging story of college life that has general appeal, in addition to feeding if of a stereotype about college.
Comments: A. The end of the book felt really raw, as if there was supposed to be more to the story. Is there supposed to be a sequel? B. The severity of antagonist seemed unreal and didn't create a good reading experience.
Cover: The cover is intriguing, although it is bothersome that the title is not capitalized. Instead of living ivy, the iron ivy suggests the book is darker than first the first impression.
