Usually, by the time I have gotten hold of a book, I could tell within the first 15 pages whether the book would be a bore to read. Alexandra Robbins presents the case of overachievers across the state, striving to get into brandname colleges, and the stress these students endure. No, it's not an "America victimizing its citizens" story, it represents just student life. There's the naturally gifted brain, Derek, to the pushed and pushed asian kid, known as "AP Frank." I liked this book, I enjoyed it. It's not all stories of these young adults struggling to meet unwritten expectations. The author writes her own account, her own researchings, and what she believes our generation is dealing with. I consumed this book, I finished the 400 pages this night. I highly recommend reading this book, it is far more enlightening and nonetheless, inspiring than any statistics and figures presented.
PS: I've found the will to be a hopeless romantic. I can't wait. I'm also looking forward to the rest of this summer. It's funny how schools are cutting back on Recess, I used to miss those days playing kickball and running around with friends. Kids nowadays need that. And I am fasinated on why there were only two countries that did not ratify the Convention on the Rights of a Child, one being Somalia, and the other being the US. And....tv is the for internet domain the island nation of Tuvalu...it's sinking
