![]() It seems to be a constant trend in this genre. The thing about this book and psychology thrillers overall is that none of these characters are likeable, which is not surprising. These two brothers share a jealousy rivalry. She starts dating Ethan who is kind and caring, but that’s until she meets Ethan’s brother, Oliver who comes home from college. The main character is Chloe, who just wants to get out of Haverford and start college, but finds herself left behind to take care of her mother who is depressed. Dangerous Boys is slightly similar to Dangerous Girls but different story with a girl and two boys this time, and is written in the style of the past and present tense. I don’t know how Abigail Hass did it but she’s done it again! I was very excited about this book when I heard about it because I loved Dangerous Girls. As the fire rages, and police and parents demand the truth, she struggles to piece together the story of how they got there-a story of jealousy, twisted passion, and the darkness that lurks behind even the most beautiful of faces… ![]() But which brother survives? And is his death a tragic accident? Desperate self-defense? Or murder? Chloe is the only one with the answers. Chloe drags one Reznick brother to safety, unconscious and bleeding the other is left to burn, dead in the fire. Three teens venture into the abandoned Monroe estate one night hours later, only two emerge from the burning wreckage.

There is a deep seated malaise within both Richard Nooman, an engineer and supplier to the local scientific institute, and his colleague Valentine Pillman, about man’s status in regards to his existence now the Zone is present. Yet this entails that man is thus no better then what he sets himself apart from i.e. Anything good that can be said of man, is that he can be said to have the ability to continue to survive. This leads to a denial of man’s supposed greatness. There are also epistemological and existential failures, an intellectual pessimism one could say, caused by the Zone. There is a failure – not just on sociological, cultural and economic levels – whereby government and societal institutions fail to prevent Stalkers bringing artefacts out of the Zone to sell onto the black market, as well as the various adverse effects had on the citizens of Harmont due to the Visit. ![]() The Hegelian notion of the progression of self-consciousness, similar to their other novel Hard to Be a God (1964), and a focus on humanist ideals are called into question throughout the work.
