Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld

<p>Ok, yes, I know there has been threads on this (Two to be precise.), but I thought I'd throw the question out there once more. </p>

<p>How many of you have read Prep, and what did you think of it?</p>

<p>I'm about half way through currently. From what I've read on here I didn't think I'd enjoy it and it would draw me away from the prospects of BS, especially a small BS, but I really am enjoying it. It's actually having me consider looking into some smaller schools. The writing isn't amazing by any means, but it's interesting to say the least.</p>

<p>I thought it was a pretty mediocre book. I got tired of Lee’s whining after a while. :P</p>

<p>I almost didn’t get through it. She is just too anti-social for my liking. She doesn’t even try to talk to other people, which even the quietest people get up to courage to do sometimes. Her whining doesn’t help either =P</p>

<p>yea…
the school itself reminded me a lot of groton.
(well duh, sittenfield went there).
but lee as a character was really annoying.
she complained a lot, but i mean, it was sort of her fault for not tlaking to anyone…</p>

<p>I liked it. A lot. There were certain things that Lee said that I could really identify it, and sometimes it felt like I was reading about the worst, deepest-buried part of myself.</p>

<p>^ I agree. I completely agree.</p>

<p>I disliked it, Lee really irritated me. She was whiny and I felt like she was purposly antisocial. The writing was ok- by far not the best but so so.</p>

<p>Here’s an article that Curtis Sittenfeld wrote that appeared in the New York Times a few years ago. <a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/07/opinion/07sittenfeld.html?pagewanted=print[/url]”>http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/07/opinion/07sittenfeld.html?pagewanted=print&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
