Negative Positive
Title: Oh dear....
Review: I normally do not feel compelled to write a review on Amazon once I have read a book, but this book causes me to change my mind. The protaganist of the book, Lee, is generally very unlikeable. She is whiney and often rude, and completely unmotovated to do anything. Half of the book she barely even has friends. She is surrounded by characters who are shallow and very two dimentional to make things even better.Besides the characters, the basis for the book bothered me a lot as well. The fact that people might think this is an acurate portrayal of a prestigious boarding school is horrifying to think about. Sittenfeld does not include a single believable character in the story and clearly draws on some bad experience she had in her life. Her characters are uninteresting and her idea of boarding school life is completely off. I would never recommend this book to anyone.
