What Members Thought

I read this in high school and didn't much enjoy it. I know it's a classic and quite typical high school fare but I think it's too advanced for most high school students to enjoy.

The story is at best morose and while an honest depiction of a lost young man in a downward spiral it's probably NOT the best fodder for young minds.

As an adult I can appreciate it more, but I can now easily understand my earlier reacton to it.
