i loved this book, when i first read it, oddly enough, as i'm male, and it was assigned for school (odder still, it was written by a male [but i guess they did that, back then], and i often loved the books i was assigned for school). it led me, if you'll believe it, into the arms of my first real girlfriend (now a well respected poet, so you can see why, prob'ly). i loved the female protagonist. recently, i attempted to reread it, but was a little thrown by some of the idiom, at which point i turned to spark notes for a little clarification. spark notes proceeded to give away the entire plot IN THE DRAMATIS PERSONAE! now, i have to wait to forget it, again; luckily, this shouldn't take long. thanks, xanax!
