China TV reported that in one school in Nanking, half the class had bought one of the books. A presenter interviewed a pupil who had written details of how his foe would be admitted to hospital, then fatally poisoned by a nurse who gives the victim the wrong medicine by mistake. “Quite an imagination,” the alarmed presenter muttered.
