The characters in this book all exhibit a very dark side, yet at the same time you feel great empathy towards the young narrator Richard Papen who gets caught up in something that quickly spirals beyond his control. A vivid and original take on the "college" novel.

This is full of twists and turns. You never quite know who the good guy is and who the bad guy is. The story stays with you long after you finish.
Great book about some college misfits who slip beyond appropriate boundaries.....very good!
An egrossing and complex novel, the elaborate story keeps one interested throughout. Not at all a light read.
