Title: Bored Stiff
Product review: I hated this book. It was a required read for my son and when he couldn't get into it, I picked it up to find out why. I read it because I wanted to try to get him interested. It was nothing but a collection of dull incidents that happened in the dull life of a dull person. I didn't see it as a story, novel or anything else. She tries to direct sympathy toward the character but nothing tragic or eventful happened to her to draw sympathy. Just another poor kid in an American ghetto. AND....not even the kind of poor people suffer in other countries where there is no public handout. For the life of me, I don't understand why any school would list this dull diary style book of nothing important as a required read. Sorry but don't waste your time.
