I read "An Expensive Education", which I thought was terrible. I decided to give this book a try because of all the rave reviews. I only have two positive things to say about this book. Number one is that it was short. I started it on my commute home on a Thursday and finished it on my commute in on a Friday. Secondly, it was a more familiar subject for the author, wealthy Manhattan teens, so the situations and characters made more sense than the ones in "An Expensive Education." Overall, it was a snoozefest. Nothing interesting happened and the characters were shallow brats. I hate that it was made into a movie. It is also no surprise to me that the author's godfather was the publisher. hmmm.
