Title: One of the best books ever written!
Review: I first heard of this novel when I saw the video at the age of 12. I didn't actually read the book, though, until I taught it to my high school English class last year. I found the synopsis of the book on the back cover to be misleading if you didn't know about the book before reading it. It would make you think that the book contains rough language and sexual content when it doesn't. This story of high adventure has just enough romance and sadness to interest any reader. The subtle comedy is carried throughout the novel and keeps you laughing all the way through. Many of my students said it was the first novel they read all the way through. It definitely is a favorite of mine, and I enjoy re-reading it every year. This book overwhelmingly deserves all five stars!
