Could have been a good book, but really was not. I like the “seize the day” message, but that’s literally it. This book was just chock-full of misogyny, racism, and bad writing. The fact that Knox sexually assaults and borderline stalks a girl and then ends up dating her?? Literally vile. Charlie’s cultural appropriation and misogyny as well was of course very gross. Mr. Keating showing them videos of naked women so they can “practice to not get distracted during college when there’s women around”??? What the fuck was that. The writing just wasn’t good, this includes using the word “moaned” to describe how any female character said anything and the way they cut some scenes from the movie in this that were important (to me at least). Also we saw basically no insight into any of the characters’ dynamics or even their own personalities. My only movie over book take I have is this.

The book has an absolutely wonderful message, it is truly inspiring. But 166 pages are just too little to write good 3d Characters and a good story. The blatant sexism, sexualization of girls and SA were completely unnecessary and really ruined alot of the book, as they were big parts given then length of the book.
