Their talent places them further along the learning curve than others of their age, but what about the social ramifications of being so far ahead?<br /><br />Thanks ~ megalon22{at}yahoo{dot}comCherylS22https://www.blogger.com/profile/16781658506875696406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748159707491896359.post-63521828999528952722009-10-21T15:35:09.190-07:002009-10-21T15:35:09.190-07:00I haven't even read this book yet and already ...I haven't even read this book yet and already my heart goes out to this poor guy. Loneliness especially in college isn't fun. I think part of the college experience is the socializing and the friendships you make but it doesn't sound like that's going to be part of Mead's college life.<br /><br />Your reviewed makes me want to run out and get this book now! I want to know Mead is okay but I also want to know what made him leave!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Aimala127@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748159707491896359.post-52708664062078275922009-10-19T15:29:09.884-07:002009-10-19T15:29:09.884-07:00I am married to a person who went though a similar...I am married to a person who went though a similar experience.
