A Separate Peace

The story tells of boys at a New England college preparatory school in the 1940's. About to reach the age to be inducted into the armed forces, they are trying to figure out who they are and what life is about.
The characterizations did not reach me. I confess that reading about pampered children of the wealthy in a private school of an America long gone doesn't stir me. The boys do act like boys of their age; taking risks, being goofy and spontaneous in pursuit of sensation for the sake of sensation, yet I found nothing remarkable about the tale and the ending was predictable.
