具体描述
Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

读后感
果然还是觉得看中国作家的书比较有共鸣。有些时候觉得翻译不能理解，有些翻译得很隐晦，当然肯定也有文化差异的问题，不过觉得有些地方还是应该加上些注释。另外结局让我有些失望，我本以为莉会蜕变，变得坚强而自信，但是我发现到了最后，她似乎没有多大变化，这本书更像是...
评分《奥尔特校园手记》，是刚要进入高中的时候读的，虽然是发生在大洋彼岸的世界。 可是我觉得，不管怎么说，怎样看，青春大概相似吧。 莉·斐奥拉的身上有着每一个少女的影子，敏感脆弱，有点自私偏执。女孩们的友谊也都是“吹弹可破”。奥尔特校园并非是上流...

评分from http://blog.sina.com.cn/woodlee 按《预科生》（Prep）的题材——美国中学生的成长故事——这部小说不太可能进入《纽约时报》２００５年十大好书名单，成为其中五本年度小说之一。美国人讲的“预科”，是指那些收费昂贵的私立寄宿学校，完全以学生进入名牌大学为目标，...
评分突然翻到几年前中二少女时候写的一些东西，这本书应该是最喜欢读的吧。真的写到了自己的心坎里面了。 ————手动分割线 撕下那张印着巨大“美国梦”字体的招贴画，恍惚看到莉·斐奥拉在对我笑。 我想问她有关她的真实想法，可我知道她很敏感，于是我还是低头不语。 好像没有...
用户评价
1) Popular version of Atwood 2) who hasn't gone thru high school before not to understand the most sensitive yet tender nerves in the book 3) bittersweet (though more bitter than sweet) 4) very preppy, thus true. 5) touched by the end, "the world is big"
评分关于一个年代的高中生活。一个羞涩普通女孩的成长。
