A Separate Peace by John Knowles

3.0

Excellent writing, but you may not realize how good the writing is if the story pulls you in the way it did me. Great characterization, too, but you may not notice that either, until after, when you weigh the goodness in some of them against the bad. I'd thought it was a coming of age story during WWII, and it is. Mostly though, I saw the humanity. It's a story about humanity.
