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
《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，...
评分读这本书就像在读自己，我和主角一样是好学校中的“凡人”。但是这些都不是阻挡我们追求幸福的借口。每个人都有理想，哪怕它大到令人咋舌，或小，我们都要有勇气去寻找和追求。
评分可能是因为翻译的不好 后面有点儿看不下去的感觉 但是之前还是挺引人入胜的 学生时代 外国青春校园小说 适合初高中的学生看吧 自卑的女主角 贵族同学 性格怪异的朋友 孤独寂寞 胡思乱想 为了达到目的有时候不择手段 与男主角奇特的感情故事，那么自然又那...

还可以
评分关于一个年代的高中生活。一个羞涩普通女孩的成长。
评分抱着非常低的期望，但成为很大的惊喜。低自尊、眼高手低、overly self-conscious的青春期女孩敏感心理刻画入木三分，配以一个如影随形无时无刻笼罩在主人公头顶的主题：如何面对优势文化？如何面对强势文化是每个人在一生中不同阶段总归要面临的问题，它大到是你的出身、阶层、语言、文化，小到你是如何发音你每句话末的尾音。Intersectionality决定每个人总有一种社会属性将她处于劣势地位，而我们大多数人能力却不足以允许自己和这些优势文化彻底分道扬镳，只能在心理层面寻求和解。高中四年里，主人公在这个问题上没有丝毫长进，but why is that so important to be liked?
评分过于清晰的世界
评分我实在是不喜欢这个女主角，特别难弄，怎么别扭怎么来。他们学校里的同学都挺好的好嘛，就她自己一个人瞎折腾！（另外rich kids花样经是多呀，把妹一套套的。我们这儿既不崇文也不尚武，自己魂灵生生紧伐。。
