SYNOPSIS: The delicious follow-up to his successful novels, Chris Kent returns to his favorite theme of public school boys - this time through a clever retelling of Thomas Hughes Victorian children's novel, "Tom Brown's Schooldays". In Kent's version, the boys have a lot to learn, but will their naughty headmasters get their just desserts in the end?

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Frankly, I am amazed that Chris Kent gets away with it but I'm glad he does. In The Real Tom Brown's School Days, Kent has taken a timeless, classic English novel, which is frankly second-rate twaddle, and has reworked it into a page-turning experience that leaves you as breathless as most of the boys who appear in the book.  Some readers will be put off and others turned on by the o-so-graphic sex, but there's far more to the book than sexual titillation - it's tale that manages to be poignant, moving, realistic, fantastical, incredible, unbelievable, and hugely entertaining.  If the full-in-your-face sex is representative of life in English boarding schools then and now, I for one am sorry I went to a state day school!  All I can say is that Chris Kent devotees will love Tom Brown, and new-comers to his work will be converted or disgusted in equal methods.  Hurrah for Tom Brown!  Hurrah for Chris Kent!.  -- Written by Montaque Burns

My two cents: you'll see Alex Pettyfer in our DVD version of Tom Brown's School Days in a whole different light!  If this were a movie, it'd be illegal!
