It sounds like a fun review, and reminds me a bit of a favorite series of my daughters' called H.I.V.E. - Higher Institute of Villainous Education - another bad boy goes to villain school kind of story in which you find out that there are villains, and then there are bad villains. The "good" villains keep the bad villains in check. It's an interesting premise.
