The Secret History

A very detailed account of a group of college students who kill one of their classmates. Kind of long and drawn out, but still engrossing. While the author's descriptions of the characters uniqueness make them seem to be fully formed, their actions in the book show them to be very impressionable and inexperienced.

I did have to wonder while reading though - in what time period did the book take place? When, at a small college in Vermont, would there have been students wearing suits, hippies, salutations like “old man” and “chap” as well as ATMs?
