Title: Two stars, only because I finished it
Product review: I love "coming of age" stories and I'm very quick to laugh, so I was very excited to begin reading this book. But after the first 50 pages, I found it becoming increasingly stupid, farcical, and not particularly funny. While it had its moments, it was only barely good enough to keep reading. So I kept on, hoping it would get better. But it never did. It actually got worse.I also found the dialog preposterous. Even though these are supposed to be very gifted and bright kids, the dialog just didn't ring true. And have you EVER, EVER heard a teenage boy refer to his girlfriend as "darling"? Maybe they do in prep schools, but not in any school I've ever attended.If you like your humor clever or witty (or even crass), stop here. This book is not for you. If you enjoy slapstick comedy, bedroom farces, manic and overblown plots of scheming and deception, and think boys in drag are hilarious, perhaps you'll enjoy it. My advice? Don't waste your time on this one.
