Sittenfeld captures the hothouse atmosphere of boarding-school, the way you see even people you don't like in their underwear.Mostly, however, it's Lee's voice that makes all this worthwhile." London Review of Books "Curtis Sittenfeld shares with Salinger a knack of capturing, in effortless prose, a teenager mindset.It feels important.Most vitally of all, it feels like adolescence." The Times "You don't have to have attended an elite Massachusetts boarding school to find yourself reliving your adolescence in Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep.Even the Cross Sugarmans (major crush) and Aspeth Montgomerys (long legs, super popular) of this world will cringe with recognition at the book's fine-knit accuracy and detail." Vogue "Sweet Valley High as written by George Eliot. It's great to relive it all, now that it is happening to someone else." Observer "Straightforward, serious, funny.There is so much that is right about this book. Sittenfeld's strength is in making the experience feel universal.Everyone will wince with recognition at the horror of being a teenager. "The OC meets Donna Tartt's The Secret History with flashes of Clueless.
