I read this book in high school and I remember really liking it. I re-read it for a challenge and I have to say it was not as good as I remember.

Shelves: with-reservations, adult, classics, boys, young-adult, audiobook, zz-2011, overrated, barely-finished
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.

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