Coming of age story. (2 more)
20th century classic read.
It's written as a narrative from the main character 'Holden Caulfield', which gives it interest.
I first read this book over 30 years ago! Its a tale of a depressed teenage boy, flunking another school, cynical and disliking of most of society!

"“It’s the best coming-of-age film ever made. It’s the story of these four guys who drop out of school and decide not to go to college, and it follows what they do that summer as they try to figure out what to do with their lives.”"

“Borne” is a work that exemplifies the notion of pick-and-choose literature; there are elements of science fiction and fantasy of course, but also flavors of thriller and love story and coming of age.
Critic- Allen Adams
Original Score- 5 out of 5

A coming of age story that teaches the lesson that you should never judge a book by its cover. Told from the perspective of the two main characters, it shows how differently two people can view the same situation and how easily things can be misinterpreted.

This book was a quick read. The plot flowed really well. It was nice to see a main character my age although I can not relate to coming out that late in life. The internal conflict Mickey goes through really shows the complexity of coming out. The characters overall were very likeable and I have already gotten the next book in the series.

The story of young Veda Sultanfuss (Chlumsky) who is coming of age during the summer goes through a ton of mixed feelings and emotions with her friend Thomas (Caulkin) in this coming of age story. Harry Sultenfuss (Aykryod) owns and runs a funeral parlor and is still morning his wife finds a new love interest in Shelly (Curtis) and Shelly has try try to win over Veda and try to act like her mom. This a true family story and one to not watch alone.



This movie has one of the saddest endings of all time and I can't watch it with out balling my eyes each and every time.
