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.
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.
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.

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!

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).
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.
I've never agreed more with a review
