Oh, wow. It's like Roman Polanski and Dario Argento got together to prove that even boring book titles could be creepy and off-putting.

I went to school in Queensland and all throughout primary school my stuff was marked in either green or purple pencil. I don't think it really made a difference; what's written is more important than what colour it's written in (and whether or not the person who wrote it has the teaching manner of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal).
