One of the greatest modern fiction I’ve read. Those who think the book has no theme and is boring are wrong. It is rich in language and has a great story.

Im about to read this book for honors english III… there are so many different views on it, its all kind of confusing.
Im the kinda person who needs the story to really catch my attention (im an a.d.d. child).
So would it be a good book for me to read?

Judy (above) said: I, too, REALLY enjoyed this book. The writing is delightful, with the sardonic and innocent thoughts of young Reuben. Would high school kids get into this book, do you think?
—————————————————————————–
I’m going to assume by the long list of comments from high school age students that most would not get into the book. The descriptive, meaningful prose are beyond most of them. It takes years, understanding and perhaps a little sorrow to appreciate a sweet book such as this.

I have to say this book seemed to have potential… “seemed to have”…
By reaching page 100, the story is practically told. The other 200 pages are boredom after boredom. I mean, if you like those kinds of books, go for it… If you’re human, you “probably” wont like it.
