Without spoilers, Dead Poets Society is about a group of boys at Welton Academy and the way their lives get significantly more interesting when their new English professor, Mr. Keating arrives. Mr. Keating challenges the boys to “suck the marrow out of life”, a concept their conservative, single-minded school has never taught before. The boys excitedly look to the challenge and begin to view their education, their relationships and their lives differently.


I loved this story. It’s a timeless tale, full of little nuggets of inspiration. It quickly pulled me in and had me rooting for the Dead Poets Society. I was moved to tears twice and was surprised that such a short, little book could have that effect on me.
