Alexandra I concur.


message 2: by Carole (new)

Carole (Carole's Random Life) I remember liking it in high school so I picked it up for a re-read around the time the movie was coming out. I did not get very far. I think I liked it in high school because it was short and I was more interested in boys than books at that point in my life.


NickReads this is one of my favorite books,Sorry it didn't work for you:(


Tadiana ✩Night Owl☽ LOL! I keep thinking, it's been years since I've read this, so many other people think it's wonderful and deep, I really should give it another try. And then I think, Nah.


Aniqa Hahahahaha, I love this book! Shame you didn't enjoy it


Olivia I loved this book! It's probably my favorite classic! Sorry you didn't like it :(


Lordy Rozard Short hell


Inge Why did I not get any notifications for the previous five comments?! Thank you for commenting, guys!

@ Tadiana: I think "Nah" would be a pretty good way to summarise it.

@ Olivia: Sorry! I'm really not good with classics, but I wanted to give it a try anyway.


Olivia I agree, it was unbearable.

Ashley Marie bahahaha I just picked this up over the weekend, I've wanted to read it for ages -- it's one of the few "books you read in school" that I never read!

Jose Ocasio Truthfully


Analaura Ramirez I agree, and I think this book is overrated.


message 18: by M (new) - rated it 4 stars

M This may sound weird but I agree with you mostly, even though I did love the book. I think I did partially because the story had so many things that were horrible (also I too got annoyed by the 'old sport' thing, that was just unnecessary).


Grace Cannon I completely agree and that is was better than the movie


Sandra LOL, I agree. For some reason it left me sad as if they had wasted all their time partying but it lacks dept. Which in itself is telling.


Alexandra This is the best review. Ever.
