It's about youth, but it's also about its disappearance. It's about war, but it's also about how there really is no war. It's about death, but it's also about the innocence of death, or was it the death of innocence? Frankly, I think this book tries to be about too many things all at once in too short a time. It is no A Catcher in the Rye. It's more poignant than that, filled with more genuine emotion. But it's also less focused, and ultimately as a result, becomes less meaningful.
Then again, maybe I only say all this because I went to a public school... bitch.
