The Times Literary Supplement described Acts of Revision as follows "A chillingly clever variation , compellingly written and impressively structured , on the theme of revenge".
Gregory Lynn is a solitary and obsessive soul who discovers his old school records in the attic after his mothers death. He seeks revenge (revision) against the teachers who made his traumatic childhood a living hell.
A very good book.
