The End Of The World As We Know ItAsked to write something for English class that expresses who he really is, 16-year-old Carson takes pleasure in blistering the page with hate for everything in his life. Stuck in a private school for kids who have repeatedly flunked out elsewhere, Carson knows he's got nowhere lower to sink to. "Flunk Out Academy" is the last resort for Carson and his classmates, in a small town where its deeply troubled students are decidedly unwelcome.

I have a hard time coming up with another book where the main character had so much anger inside! He advantages in his life that a lot of kids wished they had. Do you think Carson's anger was justifiable?

Hello, this is Casey and Meagan from Fort Erie Secondary School; we are from the junior book club.
Both of us agree that The End of The World As We Know It was an awesome book. It was really unexpected and eventful which kept us hooked on it. Because of its intensity I read it quickly, wanting to know the ending.
The complexity of the characters made them both compelling and made us feel sympathetic towards them.Got to go now. Will write more next time
I loved the book, it's sad how Carson hates the world but then he falls in love and that girl helps him see the world differently. It's a sad ending but a beautiful story.
