Negative Positive
Title: Good and Relateabel
Review: As a former student at a pseudo-prep school, I was able to relate to Lee Fiora. While my school wasn't a boarding school, it was a NYC private school made up of mostly affluent kids who were headed to Ivy League Schools. Like Lee, I, was a middle class, somewhat mediocre student of non-desctip popularity in that environment. There were so many anecdotes in this book that I found so relateable, that I have to commend the author for being so right on. However, much of it was a bit extreme - particularly Lee's extreme lack of self esteem (despite it all, I did enjoy high school - i can't imagine I would have stuck with an experience as miserable as Lee's).While overall accurate and enjoyable, there were times when it dragged a bit. It also got a little depressing, I could have handled a few positive story lines. But, overall, an enjoyable read.
