Book Reviews of Election
Book Review: "Election" is right on target.
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Perrotta has written a savvy and lively account that accurately describes the hell of high school. In this book, not just high school, but a high school election, are the vehicles through which we see how self-destructive people can be, as well as how certain types of pressure often bring out the worst characteristics in people. Although Perrotta's characters are not terribly likeable, we sympathize with them because they are so human. We cannot say for sure, "I would never act like that!" Perrotta captures the pain of not being popular, the agony of teenagers who cannot find their niche in life, and the misery of adults who have lost their way. "Election" is a gem, beautifully written and an instant classic.
