This was a really intriguing read. The narrator, Richard, is a drifting college student who transfers to a New England college from his native California, hoping to escape the trap of suburban life. He is drawn into an exclusive and isolated major, Ancient Greek, and the five other students in the course become his friends. But things are not always what they seem in this close-knit group and an accidental death leads to the group's further isolation and eventual implosion.
While there were some parts which I skimmed over, as the writer started to get too "clever" for my reading tastes, overall, this had me hooked. It's an impressive size but didn't take too long to get into and the pace didn't drag. Very interesting from a psychological view point as well.
