We were required to read this drek in high school. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now, 45 years later, that so many morons could act like lemmings in calling this tripe a masterpiece. If it is a coming of age story, it is about humanity itself coming to an age of self-loathing and self-pity; constantly the victim. Never responsible for their own shortcomings in failure to appreciate the privelege of existance. As I said; a first class moping piece of crap. Teachers should be fired for even suggesting an adolescent child or teen read it.
