The Miseducation of Cameron Post

This book has received a lot of critical acclaim, and while I certainly found it a good read, I don't quite see this as a modern Catcher in the Rye. I think the praise comes from the subject, a gay Montana teen sent to a homosexuality reform program, and the fact that it's well-written. All this rambling boils down to this: a good novel, great characters, but it didn't live up to the hype.
