I was really surprised to see that Escuela Caribe is still around, especially after there is so much testimony online and in other places that it's terrible.

I named it as one of my top 10 reads for last year. I had trouble with it in the beginning too, especially the molestation parts and the almost-rape scene. In the end I really liked it though. I can't believe more people don't speak out about the Escuela Caribe. It was a crazy thing to read about. I read this book last year and really liked it.
