A Separate Piece was the kids-join-war novel or whatever, right? I couldn't stand that one. I recall in my freshman English class a girl yelling at the teacher about how boring the book is. She essentially said, "Well, listen, the book is awful, so I didn't read it". It ended up being a small battle, something that occurred often as the teacher is literally insane. The only time I ever actually talked to that girl was after that class, when I simply asked her why she acted so stupidly.
