coreyk 's review for:

A Separate Peace by John Knowles
5.0

This was required reading for me in high school and, as a result, I don't think I read any of it. I hated my 10th grade English class, and since this book was associated with that class, I hated this book.

I decided to seriously read it now, at 27, and I have to say that this book is a masterpiece. Great literature is used and abused in high school (not necessarily the fault of teachers). Time and maturity bring these brilliant works into light.
