★ 2 stars “The boys had seized the cave, and in it they’d found a home away from Welton, away from parents, teachers, and friends—a place where they could be people they never dreamed they’d be. The Dead Poets Society was alive and thriving and ready to seize the day.” i first watched Dead Poets Society when i was 12 years old and i fell in love with it right away. guess you could say it was love at first sight, because it was. it’s a beautiful, enthralling, memorable and impactful fil...

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. “Carpe Diem,”... “Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary.”I watched Deat Poets Society movie a few years ago and I still sometimes watch its clips. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies. A week ago I was scrolling through my Goodreads feeds and found this book and I screamed like WHAT??? THIS BOOK DO EX...

should’ve been gayer idc

What is wrong with the author.

Watch the movie. This book shouldn't exist.

The author wrote it after the movie and decided to add a pointless SA scene and some other questionable things... it's just nowhere near as good so don't waste your time.

*It made it to my worst books of 2022: https://youtu.be/yaBImu6ejEM

this ruined me so im gonna pretend the last chapters didnt happen and im gonna pretend Neil followed his dream and is happily married with Todd :D

i didn't expect the ending at all, but like never in a million years would i have predicted that ?? also, don't know about y'all, but Neil and Todd's relationship seemed very homoerotic to me 😏

I would've liked it more if it was gayer tbh

take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die

lacked the homoerotic subtext of the movie, absolutely pointless
