Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to "make your lives extraordinary! Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society--a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams? But the Dead Poets pledges soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?

Why exactly is this book so popular? It's such a hollow shell of the movie, a mimicry, written like a 6th Grade narrative assignment. It's inferior to the absolutely beautiful film in almost every regard, and the only enjoyment I got from this was when I thought about the film. I was excited, but now I've been left disappointed after completion.
first time reading a book based on the movie not too sure how i feel about it
