Through each of the character ́s voices Ellis presents a kaleidoscopic view of clashing expectations and frustrations, of the dreams and tumultuous desires of youth. ''The rules of attraction'' paints a poignant and sometimes hilarious picture of the couplings and capitulations, the dramas and downfalls of american college life in the 1980s.
