Negative Positive
Title: Wonderful, Funny, Poignant, and Painful
Review: Although I am an avid reader, I rarely write book reviews. After reading the book, Prep, I feel obliged to share my opinion. This book is excellent. As the other reviewers wrote, Prep is an honest look at the tumultuous teenage years. At times I laughed out loud, whereas other times I cried. Throughout, I was totally engaged in this page-turner. Although most readers will not be able to relate to Lee's experience at a prep school, everyone will be able to relate to some aspect relating to her emotions, her confusions, her insecurities, her joys, her obsessions, and her pain. Be warned, as I was reading Prep, I found myself remembering events from my adolescence that I had forgotten-this was not always pleasant. Sittenfeld accomplished what many of the best authors strive for: she created a character that is fully human, painfully honest, and easily recognizable.
