Gave me a absolute headache. Maybe I would have appreciated this book more as a teen, but as a mom of teens, I just wanted to smack him. Sorry to offend anyone who enjoyed it.

I first read this in high school on a banned books kick and didn't get it. When I read it again in graduate school after a professor said read it again and put it in the societal context for me it was great. ...more
 Marla
With reservations: Language...Lots of languaage: GD, JC, SOB, C-sakes, bastard...no S-, C--t or F- yet. Beginning was slow and the language is just for the shock value though probably authentic for boys prep school.

COMPLETELY changed my life when I read this when I was about 16 or 17... Read it in one day and was mesmerized.

I REALLY need to read this one again...

If I had read it 17 years ago I probably would have loved it. I'm kind of glad I waited so long. ...more
