I just read this for my 9th grade honors english class.
This book gave me a reason to envy the regular english classes because they didn’t have to read it.
I found this book dreadfully boring.
Nothing interesting ever happened, and anything that should have been interesting was twisted up in a way that made it not.
If sappy books are your thing, good for you.
But if you need a book with a little plot twist, don’t even pick this one up.

I read this for required reading this year in tenth grade English class, and I rather enjoyed it. I’m agnostic, but I didn’t really feel that the religion was overbearing (which I was pretty worried about, initially). The characters are believable, and the storyline’s pretty engaging. If you understand at least some of the allusions and religious references (which are, generally, drawn from the better-known verses), the story’s, also, extremely easy to follow. Honestly, it was a nice break from the dull and, oftentimes, difficult-to-follow books that we are usually assigned.

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?
