Summary: not a very good book!
Review: Although, i was able to relate to the book in different ways the book was boring, uninteresting, and horrid. It was not well written and could of had more activity! At times i felt i was let down and did'nt feel a part of the story. I also think that there were many parts that drifted off. All in all i was not satisfied with the details of the novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: This is a wonderful book! I'd recommend it to everyone

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hate, pain, and betrayal
Review: This book is very good. It shows you the reality of friendship, and hate. It also shows you very interesting thoughts about hate, that might not always be considered.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: An extremely overrated novel!
Review: I read this book in 9th grade and it began promising, but then the second half of the book came up. Ugghh. The book is disgusting and morbid, the ending idiotic. Finny understands why Gene pushed him and accepts it!!!??? These aren't really people. This story is just a blatant rip off of the Cain and Abel story with some stupid, unecessary twists and characters who's motivations are obscure if not unlikely. Hardly as good as any one want's it to be. Read something else...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most compelling stories about a boys maturation
Review: If you like symbolizm, well written literature, or the story of a boys maturation during World War II, this book is a must read. Knowles style allows the reader to become part of the book and forces the reader to make judgements about the characters. It is a well written book and a must read for anyone who likes movies such as "Dead Poets Society" or "School Ties".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the book...
Review: One of the most wonderfull novels ever written. I read this novel for the first time as my grade 9 English assignment. I re-read it for my grade 10 ISU, i did the same for grade 11 and 12. Unfortunately it was not one of the novels given to us in grade 13 or i would have gone a step further.

Wonderfully written, beautifully structured, and unbelievelably planned, this novel is determined to keep you intersted from page ONE...

A MUST READ

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The novel is a life-changing masterpiece.
Review: No matter how many times I read A Separate Peace by John Knowles, I am moved, enlightened, and entranced throughout each reading. I love this novel for its thoughtfulness and for the way it transcends time to catapult me to another dimension, where I am no longer a seventeen year-old female, but a character, incessantly involved, perahps a little too involved, in the life of someone as beautiful as Phineas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masterpiece
Review: I soooooooo loved this book!! So far it has been the best book I have ever read. The way John Knowles wrote it just made me feel as if I were actually there. I recommend this book to everyone out there!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true book that transcends the ages.
Review: In reading this literary masterpiece it is very easy to find yourself totally intranced by the story of "A Seperate Peace," and its characters. I am 16 years old and find the struggles portrayed in this novel quite true to life. Its so true in the fact that we are tought to hid our emotions as males but that doesn't mean we don't feel them. The relationship between Gene and Phineas is so real to me it is unexplainable. I would like to thank Mr. Knowles for this book which has helped me to further understand myself. It is a must read for personal growth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This IS a classic
Review: I am extremely grateful to an English teacher I had, who had this book as assigned reading in his class. I have since read it at least 5 more times. It's never failed to move me in some way. Very powerful reading, and, to me, very enjoyable as well.
