But it was the immense power that these boys had, not just over her (that’s understandable since she looked up to them, revered them so much) but that they seemed to have power over everyone. Adults, teachers, society as a whole seemed to bend to their will (for the most part) and accommodate their behavior. Of course some things get pushed too far, landing them in prison (so it’s not all fun and games and control, for them). I pushed up, raising on shaky legs, the sharp edges of the wet leaves under my feet poking my toes as I walked toward the window of the garden shed. Until *something* happened that sent the bad-boy crew to prison (except for the ring-leader), and he hatched a plan upon their release.

Whoa! "Dark deeds and bad seeds"indeed! If that isn't a substantial insight, then I don't know what is! Take that, Plato! Oh yes!!!! OMG HOT!!!!!! There was a scene that when I realized what was happening I became seriously annoyed again, and was about to start skimming because again, my mind went into “oh yeah riiiiiiiight” mode, but I continued reading, curiosity getting the best of me that it was actually going there. Almost seemed outta place. But my annoyance as to the fact that I couldn’t believe my eyes, had me continuing, just to make sure I was “understanding” it. LOL!!! And then I realized I had read every single word right to the very end. Every. Single. One. Tee hee!! And ummm… yeah. HOT. He had 0 personality. I don’t know if PD was trying too hard to make the others intriguing that she failed to develop Michael enough or what, but he was just so…meh. Furthermore, the story contains a fair amount of violence and the plot is difficult to follow at times, due to the narrative jumping between different points of view. Corrupt also contains some dark and disturbing subject matter, which can be confusing and hard to process.

He didnt touch Rika when she was 16 and begging him to do, because she's still not legal and he will claim her when she's 18 so she should WAIT for him and not let anyone TOUCH her. Things to me didn’t always add up, and I wanted to scream at her! UGGGHHHH. GAH!!! I mean I guess that could happen… but these guys have ALL THE POWER? I dunno.
