A Separate Peace

I somehow got out of having to read this in high school, but recall my sister recounting the plot of a Separate Peace when she was forced to read it. I actually chose to read it on my own.

It's coming-of-age story that I found dated and reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye. I didn't find it that bad, but the writing was a bit heavy, and I can understand why teens wouldn't gravitate to it. I certainly don't want to read it again, but glad I did. The relationship and betrayal between two boys is something that many can identify with. Nothing bad to say about it other than I've enjoyed other novels better than this.
