Title: Terrible, undeveloped characters
Review: I read this book back in the 1970's when I was in 7th grade. It was an assigned book. It was a terrible read and I found the violence to be in the book because it was needed to advance the characters. Good books should be lead by great characters. Violence, or any action should only be in the book if it's character lead - not the other way around. No wonder this author got a D+ in English! This book, and movie only survive because teachers have been taught that they must teach this book.While the "idea" of this book is interesting, exploring class warfare through the eyes of teenagers, the book itself is not worth reading. Hopefully the educational system will catch on and stop making kids read this horrid book!
