Title: Interesting but not exactly riveting
Review: If you were around in 1964, this book provides a lot of nostalgic references. If you were actually in high school then, I imagine the book would be a treasure to you. If you were not around during this period it gives you a good idea of what it was like in 1964. Because the book is literally divided into 365 days (chapters), it seemed very disjointed compared to a "normal" novel. Though it reads quickly, mainly because the seventeen year old's perspectives don't contain much deep, thought provoking material, it was still too long. I read about 10 months worth, then found myself skimming to the end to just get it over with, so I could start a book that might be more exhilarating.
