The School for Good and Evil Soman Chainani Iacopo Bruno 9780062104908 Books

(Review by my 11 year old daughter) I loved It! I loved the whole series! It is just a wonderful book for all ages. I do recommend that you do read the books in order because you may lose some of the magical experience of the series and get very confused if you don't. Although I think that these books are good for all ages, I do recommend that the person reading this book should be over 9 years old due to in the last Ever After being a high reading level, and including death and blood (but that is not what the book is all about so I still encourage everyone to read it!). Although the story is mainly about two girls, I still think that boys will enjoy reading it as well. The series is a meld of many themes such as: Friendship, Romance, Finding Yourself, small amounts of comedy, and so much more! I was hooked on the first page!

If you liked "The Sisters Grimm", "The Fairy Tale Reform School Series", old fashioned fairy tales,"Harry Potter", and maybe even Disney movies, then I encourage you to READ THIS BOOK! It by a long shoot has taken 1st place in my favorite book list.

Have fun reading! :)

The School for Good and Evil Soman Chainani Iacopo Bruno 9780062104908 Books Reviews

I wanted to like this book more than I did. But to be fair, if I were still a middle grader / the target audience, I would have gone crazy for it. The concept is compelling – a School for Good and Evil (S4G&E) where characters learn the fineries of their respective labels. Throughout the first chapters, it was completely obvious to me that Sophie and Agatha were going to be swept up to the S4G&E but into evil and good respectively. While this ‘twist’ was a foregone conclusion there were enough interesting aspects that kept me reading. I loved the ridiculousness of the curriculum; Evil’s includes Uglification and Curses and Death Traps. In Good, classes such as Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication lead a disheartened Agatha to concede “The boys went off to fight with swords while girls had to learn dog barks and owl hoots. No wonder princesses were so impotent in fairy tales, she thought. If all they could do was smile, stand straight, and speak to squirrels, then what choice did they have but to wait for a boy to rescue them?.” The common course of Surviving Fairy Tales is clue enough to where the story is going. Fairy tales are not for the weak at heart.
The lead characters are almost unfairly written. Sophie’s is almost cartoonish; she is vain and selfish “who wants snow white when they can have me” but does have a few redeeming qualities including creativity (I loved how she blinged the donkey out of her ‘F’s). Agatha’s character is the much more interesting of the pair. “She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school's graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn't scare her. It made her feel alive.” Agatha is intelligent and self-aware. She quickly rising to the top of her classes and readily sees the folly of her fellow princesses-in-training “Agatha wondered what these girls' souls would wish for. Depth, perhaps.“ Agatha’s biggest weakness seems to be her frustrating dedication to Sophie.
In summary, there is enough here to make this a worthwhile read. As Tedros (the rather bland love interest) wisely stated “the best villains make you doubt.” I will read the sequels when they show up in a deal of the day or once the inevitable movie(s) is released.
Sophie and Agatha are two girls from the same town. Every four years the schoolmaster abducts two children from the town and these children are never seen again. Or are they? The children of the village have noticed that some of the missing children are appearing in the new fairytale books that are issued once a year. Sophie is convinced that she is a shoo in for the School for Good and that she will become a princess. She is very vain and cares more for her appearance than she does for the feelings of others. Her friend Agatha has no delusions of being a princess. She sometimes thinks that the only reason that Sophie is her friend is to give her "good" points. On the night that the schoolmaster is supposed to make his selections, all the parents have done all that they could to make their children unattractive and difficult to obtain. Sophie's father has nailed her windows and door shut but she has unfastened them. Agatha joins Sophie and they are both whisked off to school. However, it does not turn out as Sophie thought for she is placed in the School of Evil and Agatha in the School for Good.

This is book one in a series. I liked the dichotomy of the plot. It certainly had a lot of action. I'm not certain that this is truly a book for children. The moral ambivalence may be too much for them. Although the first book was entertaining, I'm not going to pursue the series.
I have read a lot of books over the years. I mean a lot of books. I can honestly say I've never come across anything like this before. It's as if the author read a fairy tale, looked at the way we have to go to school to learn our jobs in life, and thought, "What if the princesses, princes, and villains in fairy tales also had to attend school to learn their roles?"

Villains learn how to monologue, princesses are taught how to talk to animals and how to beautify themselves, while princes are taught how to be valiant and sword fight. The book, of course, mocks some of these classes. In one part, the main prince couldn't come up with a rejoinder to a princess and instantly started a sword fight with one of his classmates instead.

Sophie and Agatha are well-written and it's fun to read what they will decide to do next to get to what they believed were their proper schools. And since I have never even seen a book like this before--the closest probably being Harry Potter--each attempt was a complete surprise. I was even surprised at the ending, but it was fitting as well.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this YA fairy tale to anyone who enjoys these kinds of things. It's a fairy tale with a definite twist, some of it dark, but all of it great fun. I will reread this book in the future and I know I will enjoy it again as much as I did this time
