I really wanted to like this book. I've heard so many wonderful things about it, but it just didn't click with me.
It made the transition from adolescence to adulthood look like waking up from a fairy tale, which I agree. However, the structure and prose was boring and I couldn't grasp the "grandiosity" of Meaulnes. Everything was so boring that Meaulnes looked exciting by default.
