Holden goes to college and learns more life lessons
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is an amazingly well-written book. The prose flows easily and the main character is very likeable....while he starts out as a very naive wide eyed young genius of 16yrs after being thrown into college and encountering every type of snake one can along the way he matures in many ways and comes out a different man versus the boy he once was. There are many coming of age thoughts and ideals that are expressed well and leave a impression on your mind long after you have read the book. Though some of the characters are presented as archtypes, Targan takes it one step further and has the main character follow up on their lives as well and how their actions at one point have shaped the lives they have gone to live. A great coming of age or into oneself book. I first read it when it came out and parts of it come back to me at times as any good book does.
