WE ALL FALL DOWN
New York : Dell, 1993.
IL YA .
ISBN 0440215560
This is a disturbing book about upper class kids losing control and following a leader who gets his kicks prancing around town. The most severe action occurs when a home is trashed and a teenager who comes home while the trashing is in process is thrown down the cellar stairs. The plot thickens as a remorseful follower of the trashing begins to date the sister of the fall victim. This is not a pretty story. It's plausible and as such is disturbing to think how haunting the consequences can be when a group loses control.
