Book Reviews of The Spectacular Now
Book Review: A real story
Summary: 4 Stars
Summary: It's senior year, and Sutter Keely is living large with a beautiful girlfriend and an endless supply of whiskey. His girlfriend wants him to do something he can't quite remember, but why worry about that when you can live in the now?
Review: Sutter's charm is simultaneously entertaining and heartbreaking. You get the feeling that it's a front for something, which of course it is.
This is not a feel-good story, but it is a real story. A real snapshot into the life of a young man who drinks morning, noon, and night. Because if he drinks, he can be the life of the party and live in the moment. And if he can live in the moment, he doesn't have to think about his past or his future.
