I reread this well known novel, because I had forgotten completely what it was about, though I know I read it in high school, most likely. Interesting story, holds up very well over time, and I had a feeling that one of the boys would die, but didn't know who. I can see now why this is a classic - the exploration of dangerous parts of ourselves is well-illustrated in this tale of prep-school boys in 1942. From the descriptions of daily life and how things changed from 1942 to 1943, we get a taste of life in the early years of World War II.
Re-reading the last chapter, lots of deep thoughts on human nature, to ponder upon.
