I think it was kinda piling up with stuff, but if you like reading and just listing to the words or something like that,or just like fairy tales with a twist. Drama and crazy mix ups, you will enjoy this book just like me. it has lots of suspence with Sophie and Agatha so you might like that and you might like how they end up in the wrong place Or do they... so if you like anything listed above you'll love this book because i love it even though it's really thick.

The New York Times bestselling The School for Good and Evil is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one. Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning!
With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.
The two girls soon find their fortunes reversed—Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.
But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are?

For two hundred years children have been coming up missing in pairs. At first it was hard to figure out what the pattern was. Then it happened. One child was always beautiful, came from a good home, and was a good kid, while the other was troublesome in every aspect and an outcast from society. But questions still remained. Why? Where were the kids? And who was behind it? When Sophie and Agatha are kidnapped, their ideas of what it would be like if they had been kidnapped are turned upside down as they discover the School of Good and Evil, just as fabled, but instead of good sweet Sophie going to the School of Good, she is somehow send to the School of Evil and Agatha is sent to the School of Good. Totally unfitting of a girl who nobody likes and has a creepy pet cat. Will Sophie and Agatha find out that they really aren’t that different after all and that maybe it wasn’t a mistake they were placed where they were? “‘Hi! Nice to see you! Give me your clothes,’ said Sophie, staring at Agatha’s pink dress.” I can hardly wait for the next book to come out. If you haven’t read this book, I urge you pick up the hardcover as it is so beautifully designed that it totally completes the book and you too will be dying for book two!
Yeah, I'll totally read it! Thanks!
I LOVE this book! So, in the village of Gavaldon, there is a curse. The curse is that every year two children disappear. It could be a girl and a boy or two girls or vice versa. There are two girls very different. Sophie and Agatha. Sophie wants to be a princess and she is beautiful. Agatha is almost the opposite....

dorable and adventurous, The School for Good and Evil is a fun escape from reality. When beautiful Sophie and weird Agatha end up in the wrong school - perfect Sophie can't be evil now, can she? - they're determined to fix this unforgiving mistake. This is a magical adventure through and through; the book is set at this School of Good and Evil, a wonderfully imaginative school that trains future fairy tale characters.

The school for good and evil, is a novel written by Soman Chainani. The story begins, talking about two villagers; Agatha and Sophia, whom are grown up to be best friends. When the two girls find themselves whisked away by the School Master of the School of Good and Evil, Sophie is ecstatic until she realizes that she has been placed in the School for Evil (Nevers) and Agatha is in the School for Good (Evers). She tries to switch places with Agatha on several occasions while trying to insist that she's an Ever rather than a Never and therefore deserves the attentions of the handsome Prince Tedros.
If you have always dreamed of getting kidnapped to become a princess when everybody is scared of it and you think your best friend will be the witch,what would you do? Well in this fantasy book filled with good and evil and "mistakes" one girl just packes her bags.
This book is odd. It starts off dull, but around page 300 it gets a lot better. Don't read it if you can't wait for the good stuff. It's about two girls, Agatha and Sophie, who are taken to the School for Good and Evil. Read this book!
