"I loved every song on that CD and that was right when I first started partying and drinking and girls were huge in my life. That was the CD that you could put on at a party in high school and put it on spin and convince girls to show you their boobs. There’s just a lot of getting high and trying to figure out exactly what Nate Dogg would say. ‘Smoke weed every day."

"I was at NYU film school when I first saw If…. The second time was the very next day, when I brought friends and classmates to share this extraordinary movie experience. I have always harbored fantasies of blowing up my high school, but until If…. I never realized that I was not the only one. Obviously If…. was a huge influence on Rock ’n’ Roll High School. In the mid-1980s, I wrote an article about high school movies for American Film magazine in which I opined that If…. was the greatest of them all. A month later, I received a lovely letter from Lindsay Anderson, my hero (I also love O Lucky Man!). We corresponded for several years, finally meeting at the Telluride Film Festival. He called me “a movie brat typical of my generation” for preferring The Searchers to She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. (I treasure his criticism.) Wrapped in a scarf, Malcolm McDowell is as riveting and charismatic as ever in his screen debut. I showed the movie to my teenage daughters, who only know Malcolm as Linderman on Heroes, and it impressed a whole new generation of rebellious teens. If….’s DVD extras, especially “O Lucky Malcolm,” really capture the spirit of the man and the movie."

Again. I love it.
I watched film in my early years of high school not knowing it was based on a book.
So, now I am going to read the book and I am scared it won't be the same as the film, but will be even better! Fingers crossed ?

Candide still makes me laugh every time I re-read it. Optimism is the theme, and it persists, often hilariously throughout the book. The satire is spot on, and relevant to today. It's definitely the best book I've ever been assigned to read multiple times throughout high school and university.

I didn’t get into this one quite as fast as others, got a little tired of the high school drama, but once the mysteries picked up I was right back into it. I really love this series and I’m sad that it’s over, but I was satisfied by the ending.
