(3) YA Garrett's affair with his eight-years-older teacher is the last straw for his controlling parents, who send him to a "disciplinary boot camp" that sanctions physical torture and mental reprogramming. Graphic details bring this prison intensely to life as Garrett struggles to survive, then escape. Garrett's apparent conversion due solely to physical violence makes the ending slightly implausible, but provocatively ambiguous nevertheless. Bib.
