Title: Much too complicated for students
Review: I was forced to read this book as a senior in high school and I find it horrible that people force students to read books like this when they are cleary not interested in them. There is a plethora of characters in this book, each with more than one name. I don't want to bash this book because I am sure that if i was older and more mature or was planning a trip to Italy i would enjoy this book much more than i have. However I am writing this review in protest to schools forcing us to read this kind of book. It really is sad that a book with as much historical value as this is being given a bad rap because people like me are being forced to read it. I'm sorry to Irving Stone becuase I believe his book should only be read by those who want to read it and will enjoy it. To me, this book was a pure agony and not much else.
Is the review positive or negative?
