具体描述
Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

评分 评分似乎许多人都不喜欢书中的主人公莉，可是在她的身上，我却看到了过去的自己，一个自卑而又自傲的女孩子，在一个不属于她的世界中兜兜转转。尽管我和她不尽相同，甚至可以说是完全的两个人，却能和她感同身受。一个错误的选择改变了她整个人生。并非所有人的青春都是洒满阳光...
评分from http://blog.sina.com.cn/woodlee 按《预科生》（Prep）的题材——美国中学生的成长故事——这部小说不太可能进入《纽约时报》２００５年十大好书名单，成为其中五本年度小说之一。美国人讲的“预科”，是指那些收费昂贵的私立寄宿学校，完全以学生进入名牌大学为目标，...
评分奥尔特校园手记---这是本青春成长小说，对于我这早过青春期的人来说，读它不是很合适，严肃题材的读多了，口味都变重了，需要用轻松的书来调剂下。坦率的说，刚买来这书，对于封面我不是很喜欢，动漫色彩非常重。我非常喜欢英文版那种干净的感觉。 故事讲述一...
