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
看见6.8分的评价时，我彻底愤怒了，我一直听闻这本纽约十佳图书在中国并不让人熟知，我想，这只能归功于中国人一如既往的读书高龄化，而那些高龄的人们对于自己已经过去或者已经淡忘的差不多的青春是不会有任何共鸣的，我想那些在这个青春期成长的女生男生，都疯狂的痴迷着郭敬...
评分奥尔特校园手记---这是本青春成长小说，对于我这早过青春期的人来说，读它不是很合适，严肃题材的读多了，口味都变重了，需要用轻松的书来调剂下。坦率的说，刚买来这书，对于封面我不是很喜欢，动漫色彩非常重。我非常喜欢英文版那种干净的感觉。 故事讲述一...
评分 评分刚开始读的时候感觉不错,描写很细腻,后面越来越摸不着头脑了,作者好象有点虎头蛇尾...... 克劳斯莫名其妙地接近莉,虽然后来明白可能是由于性的驱使,但是心里面还是有点怪.两人的关系实在很奇怪... 莉在最后的无心之失也好象写得太仓促,而且后面感觉莉也变了,不那么自重.这难道...

用户评价
[English version] High school memories, or more precisely - high school feelings, rushed back. Feeling peripheral, experiencing heartbreak, longing to be wanted and needed, growing up is an universal agony. And as pointed out by Sittenfeld, the fact that you make peace with your being different, is the signal of adulthood.
评分prep school的青春期少女，popular kids, outsider, 成长
评分关于一个年代的高中生活。一个羞涩普通女孩的成长。
评分很多东西只有自己经历了才会懂得。prep school life的酸楚与迷惘，旁人看来或许觉得太作，但当你身处这个bubble其中的时候，那个小小的校园就是你的世界，你的梦想，你的一切。
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。。
