Oligarchy / Scarlett Thomas, 230 pgs.
Tasha starts at her new boarding school a couple of weeks into the term. Pretty much everyone is always on a diet and she is trying to fit in. One girl dies mysteriously and things just keep getting stranger. Later, a teacher dies and finally discoveries are made about the Head Master. This is told from a teen point of view, one who isn't especially interested but is doing her best to fit in. I thing the perspective is probably pretty realistic.
I don't think I'm the best audience for this book. I don't regret reading it but it isn't going to make my end of year favorites list.
