It was transformational and uplifting to read ‘the class’—one of Segal’s best books over a period of ten years having completed around half of the book a decade ago. Swivelling back, I don’t regret the time taken for I almost grew older with the characters. It’s truly heartening to notice how their unswerving confidence positively shaped my perceptions about everything in life from education, love, and politics to perseverance, success and the real world! As they grow out of the protective walls of Harvardian life, their lives take unexpected turns. This is what makes the book a must read for someone who yearns to make a difference. It is indeed a perfect melange of depth and light-hearted jest. Jason Gilbert—as Segal puts it—is certainly the kind of man every parent would want as a son and every woman as her lover. I recollect laughing and almost crying with each passing page. Segal’s literary elegance will surely float in our minds for a very long time. It's a book that I would like to come back to every few years.
If you happen to read my review, then I’d say, “this book is decidedly worth reading”.
