The plot is not exciting nor is the style too appealing. Yet it captures so perfectly the adolescent angst of our existence. Although we may no longer have as much doubt and pain as we had then - the mess of what we were - before we grew up - stays with us - and stays there with pride.

評分it's kind of like my life back to connecticut. i do miss some pieces from that catholic boarding school, but for the most part, i can't be more glad that i left that place forever, i am fucking free.

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.

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...
評分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,...
評分 評分莉在“三十而立”时的自述,回忆往事,她有一段话说得非常透彻: “当然,现在我会奇怪,我从哪里得到这样的想法,你要参加一个聚会,别的人必须确确实实地希望你在那里,他们的热情不够疯狂,就意味着他们讨厌你。我从哪里得到这样的想法,被人讨厌是如此重大的事?现在...
評分很喜欢这种校园文,尽管这是本“美国校园文”,很喜欢学生时代的那种感觉,可能也是因为我的学生时代已经一去不复返了。所以在读这本书的时候,不仅是有想知道莉在这个学校里面都发生了什么事的好奇,还有对于自己的学生时代的怀念和感慨,唤起了以前的憧憬——对于学生时代纯...
