1.0

Perhaps because I read this while attending the same college as Mr. O'Brien did (although he uses a fictional college he's clearly writing about the one he went to), I felt like I knew the settings and I knew the type of people he was trying to illustrate into compelling characters. I think he missed. He was trying to write about a memory, a feeling, nostalgia, and when you're living it and there you can tell he's grasping. It just could have been SO much better and wasn't.
