The Lessons
3 journalers for this copy...
Entertaining, witty, easy to read. About a group of undergraduate students in Oxford. Great mirror of that world and full of universal situations and truths. Relaxing read. Made me remember my youth...

Journal Entry 4 by Chuggypig at Brigantes Bar & Brasserie OBCZ / Meetup Venue in York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Monday, July 25, 2016
Released 7 yrs ago (7/26/2016 UTC) at Brigantes Bar & Brasserie OBCZ / Meetup Venue in York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
The blurb on the back of this book from Joanne Harris compares The Lessons with Donna Tartt's The Secret History. I wish they'd not used that quote. As I was reading it, I kept comparing the two books, and The Lessons did not come out well from those comparisons. The characters and their relationships are a bit two dimensional, and the co-incidental meeting at the end was pretty unbelievable.
To be released at the monthly York Bookcrossing meetup.

Previous reader mentioned that the blurb is somewhat misleading, comparing it to Donna tart's novel. Nevertheless it seems interesting enough to read over the summer
