One of my least favorite reads of the summer, 'A Separate Peace' was slow and repetitive. The whole book was about two kids being friends but one hating the other because of his athletic skills. How can an author write a whole book on jealous teenage boys? It didn't make sense to me. The repetitiveness was overbearing, I felt like all the author talked about in the book was Finny's leg being broken and Gene feeling guilty about breaking it. I honestly don't have too much to say about this book.
The ending also bothered me. For Gene to apologize to Finny and then have Finny just die was horrid. You would think that Gene would be the one to be punished for his jealous actions throughout the book, but no, the good kid, who never did anything wrong, died.

Abby,
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the ending much either. But for a different reason. It was the fact that Gene lost his best friend. I loved the book, and it's obvious we all have different opinions. Good job though. Looking forward to seeing you in class. :)
