Oh man I’m reading this book now and almost finish. I’ve been pretty much obsessed with it. 379 pages, got it like Tuesday or Wednesday, and I’ve got about 50 pages left. After reading this, it’s amazing how much the narrator and I are alike, it feels like such a “me” book. Though I didn’t come from an under-priveliged lower class background, I did come from a single parent lower-middle-class background, and the way he dreams so much of getting out of high school and away from the naysayers and the Dreambusters got me hooked to the book, it’s like the story of my life! And with every page, it makes me find out more and more why Brown is THE school for me. I can’t wait til Spring Break (March 17th is when it starts here), I’m gonna visit Providence and Brown. Can’t wait! :)
