Official Review: The School by Robert Davis

[Miller56]

Thanks for the review. I enjoy reading mysteries and this one sounds like one worth reading. Unfortunately some of the problems that you identified are still happening in the school systems. This sounds like a great rainy day read.

Although I love mysteries, this book hasn't grabbed my attention, so I think I'll pass. Thanks for the great review!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The School by Robert Davis. I found that I wanted to get back home to pick up the book where I'd left off. The setting in San Francisco was interesting as I am familiar with the city, it's neighborhoods and landmarks. The author spoke about the deficiencies in the city's high school system of which I was unaware. Also, part of the story was about sailing in the San Francisco Bay. This was in addition to the story's plot which kept me in suspense until the end. I highly recommend this book!

Sailing part was the most boring thing for me as i have no interest in sailing. Am glad you liked everything about it.

Oooh this one has got me curious. I like that it's got links to real world issues, the problems with schools misusing funds and the filtered media are somethings I could relate to. Such a shame that Chan's background wasn't proper. Thanks for the review!

I agree with you that the book deals with real issues especially the yellow journalism thing.

I'm always interested in mystery stories that dabble in social commentary, especially when it looks like the author's done their research. Thanks for the review!

The status of the public schools is disturbing. They are turning out graduates who cannot read or do basic math! When a high school graduate cannot multiply 33 X 2 (personal experience) this is discouraging! This seems like an interesting story that shines a light on a growing public concern. Thanks for your fascinating review!

The book also sheds light on the disability of educational institution to provide good teachers for students. Some people who know nothing about teaching are seen teaching at schools. This all is frustrating.

It is like a door to mystery leading to a number of other doors. It sounds like a maze to the readers. I am really excited to read this book. Loved the review!

It is a good mystery. I hope you would like it.

I love a good mystery novel, and if it brings attention to topics which are of great concern in today's society, then all the better! Let's solve those mysteries, and at the same time, let's put an end to those discouraging and upsetting problems in our schools. Great review, by the way. You've got everyone thinking, as well as wanting to read the book. Congratulations!

Thanks a lot for appreciating Yolanda☺. I hope all these problems get solved and this world becomes a better place to live in.

Yeah these problems still exist and maybe in an intense form now. Hope we get rid of these problems someday soon.
