    Story of a kid at a boarding school in Northern England during WWII

    In its 38th printing, this is a classic "coming of age" story that is one of the greatest novels I've ever red -- and I had never even heard of it until a friend recommended it. Fabulous piece of literature -- extremely well written on top of being a great story. Ranks right up there with Catcher In The Rye and To Kill A Mockingbird.

    Tons highlighting and writing in book

    The description said that this book was in good condition. When I got the book it was decent, a couple bent corners, the cover was in pretty good shape. But when I opened it, almost all of the text was highlighted and lots of writing in the book.

    Dianne Boseman Review

    This book was not the type of reading I enjoy. Well written but the storyline was too slow.
