Book Reviews of An Education
Book Review: An emotional page-turner
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this in about two days during one of the busiest weeks of my semester. This book moves quickly; Barber wastes little time in describing each event and uses (relatively) spare language, yet the prose is beautiful and had me in tears at one point. Very little of it was used in the movie of the same name, but so much the better--what comes after the Simon story was much more interesting to me. Maybe I felt as though I could relate to Barber so I just liked her, but at every turn she comes across as self-aware, funny, and wise. I loved this book, and 5 days after I finished it, it's still in my head. My only regret is that I wish it had been longer.
