From Goodreads:
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil.
Rapid Rating: High. Profanity includes 28 uses of strong language, around 40 instances of moderate profanity, 55 uses of mild language, and 80 to 90 instances of the name of Deity in vain. A few uses of British (bl-) profanity. There are instances of violence and some blood. There are instances of kissing.
