Users say:
This book has been compared to The Dead Poet's Society and is a must-read for those looking for a dark and twisted story. The narrator is a gifted author who narrates her characters with an intuitive authenticity, and the story is long and tedious at times. The characters are not likeable, but the story is captivating and the narrator's voice is a classic American imagination. Despite this, the book is still enjoyable and the characters are well-developed.
Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.
