Rich Man Poor Man

I read this book in my junior year of high school, and I have loved it ever since. I wrote my english paper on it, and got a pretty good grade. I have read it every year since then and will continue. If you like books that makes you feel like you are part of the story, then this is the perfect book for you.other wise, you should still read it.

Great Book!

I enjoyed this book very much. It is well-written, interesting and serious. It's a shame it is out of print now. It is one of those books which you will want to keep forever. In my opinion, Irwin Shaw is one of the best American writers.

Recommendable, for teenagers in particular

I read this novel twice in a decade. It is a very good novel. No one is perfect, which is not a sin. That is what I got as this book's message.
