I got completely hooked and devoured this in a day.
I wish it was a longer story just because I wanna stay in the universe of the DPS.

Well .... I didn't see that coming
We've read this book for school, and since we're a bit under time pressure, I finished it quite fast ig ... but I don't think that was the only reason for the end of it to feel rushed.
In my opinion there was not enough time to process everything that was happening so suddenly.
Another thing:
Metaphorically speaking, I have died of second-hand embarrassment multiple times while reading .
Some parts of the lovestories were just too much. I also didn't get why Chris just forgave Knox for what happend at the party, they didn't even talk about it properly. WHY? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
However, overall it wasn't tooooooooo bad though, I liked Mr. Keating's lessons and I think most of them can be important for life. English is my 2nd language, therefore I'm unfamiliar with English poetry so I'm also curious to see what we'll talk about it in class :)
(I don't think I want to watch the move tho)

the book assumes that you've seen the film which is obvious since the book came out in the same year but after the film.

This book is a masterpiece, not for its writing style (which is very simplistic) but for the the story, the emotions it carries and the message. The way the students explore and find themselves through literature with the help of their teacher, the way all of the boys go through so many different emotions and feelings- perfection. I love how the developement to become oneself is shown and the way the book manages to convey how external factors can be crucial for that developement. I learned so much from this book. Carpe diem!
