Book Reviews of A Separate Peace
Book Review: Fascinating, poignant story of two boys growing to be men.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book inspired me in several ways when I first read it in school nearly 15 years ago. It is a touching story of two friends in a prep school who encounter personal tragedy caused by circumstance and war. There are too many things about it that compelled me to list them all here, but perhaps the most memorable was a scene in which the protaginist tracks down a friend who deserted from the army only to find that the ravages of war have caused him to lose his mind.
This novel created an image in my mind of New England and prep schools to which I still cling today. Even though this novel was written decades ago, it is still a powerful and sobering reminder of the tragedies of youth.
