Query: Kudos to Sittenfeld

I thoroughly enjoyed Prep. For awhile, I kept waiting for something really big to happen...a cataclysmic event. But then I realized the cataclysmic event was being a teenager. I'm 52 yrs. old, and Sittenfeld enabled me to relive my teen years as if it were yesterday. Thank you for that, Curtis. Also, I give kudos to the author for realizing her book is nothing like Catcher in the Rye which I have read many times and as an English teacher have taught for many years. Two completely different stories; neither negates the other. Lastly, I recommend Prep to any 8th grade female and older. For adults it's a trip to the past...for a teen it could be the present or the future.
