Curtis Sittenfeld creates a character, Lee, who personally I could not stand. That's one of the most interesting parts of the books. Every page I turned I was begging for a personality change in Lee. Many others who read this book related completely to Lee as a character and felt it really repres...
I went to prep school. Briefly. In Massachusetts. It was a place with a chapel and a headmaster who knew everyone's names.When I tell people that, they're like whoa, really? Because, I assume, me and the place described in this book don't seem to go together very well - which, good point, we didn't ...
When I went to college I was shocked to meet kids who had actually attended boarding school. I had grown up on a steady diet of boarding school literature, but conceptually, it seemed so preposterous. You went to boarding school if you were European and from the 19th century, not if you were America...
an author gets a certain amount of points when they really pound away at their work, especially with the MFA free-fire zone, and so every sentence is constructed bang-on to build to greater and greater effect. this is something highly refined about the first third, at least, of Prep, and I can easil...
NOTE : see this review and more on http://cocainepages.wordpress.com i chose the "girls kick ass" shelve for this one because the female character in this book is just amazing! not that she kicks ass (in the physical way of kicking it), but she is well drawn and i got to like her more and more along...
Prep is probably one of the best-written books I’ve read in a while. Unfortunately the subject matter made it almost unreadable for me. The first 100 pages were not too bad, but then nothing new seems to happen at all after that.Prep follows Lee Fiora through her four years at the fictional prep sch...
There seem to have been a lot of people who really hated this book, but I loved it. Sure nothing actually happens but she captures the teenage mindset brilliantly and I spent the book cringing at my own teenage memories of humiliations, insecurities, boy troubles and faux pas.
The main character's awkwardness was eerily like my awkwardness in college, so I can't really give this an objective review. While I was reading it I was also sad that I would never have the experience of reading it for the first time agin.
Mostly, I enjoyed this novel. It was realistic and well-written. The only thing that I didn't like about it was how the last chapter drags out for a really long time, and includes some extremely inappropriate scenes. The ending seems rather abrupt and meaningless. But mostly this book impressed me, ...
