Title: Fantastic novel
Product review: I should probably dock this book some points for being a ripoff of Catcher In The Rye, but I really can't. Chbosky is so aware of the parallels in the books that it's more like a modernization than anything. I've read this book about 14 times. The first time I read this book was right before freshman year, and the last time I read it was right before graduation. Charlie and friends are painted so tangibly that you can almost picture yourself showing up at the Big Boy after a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and hanging out with them. I think that if you like the musical RENT, you'll really enjoy this book. It's very similar in that it is a detailed account describing scattered parts of a year in the life of an interesting group of friends. Buy/read this immediately.
