I was trying to decide if I would rather attend Jane Eyre's boarding school or Hogwarts (seriously, Hogwarts is the very epitome of a Crapsaccharine World), but yes, Down a Dark Hall takes the cake of the ones I'm familiar with. You *might* come out of the other two with your life and sanity intact.

I've never heard that term, Crapsaccharine World. I love it, agree re: Hogwarts, and am looking forward to the chance to use it.

I'm no fan of high school, but Lois Duncan really knows how to bring home the awfulness of it. *g*
