Old School

Rating:
Summary: Good but rather flat
Review: I got this novel out of impulse because I'm a huge fan of the book "A Separate Peace" but it just didn't live up to my expectations. Old School tries very hard to take a mediocre story, build tension, and overflow with drama. Sadly it just ends as "a good book" without any real substance. I didn't feel myself dwelling on the characters very much. I also couldn't see the characters themselves which is a surprise because Mr. Wolff really develops his characters. It just kind of beats the "boys at a boarding school" line too much and we miss out on the drama that could've been.
