Title: Horrible Book
Review: 12 years ago as an 18 year old in High School, I remember being very angry at being forced to read this garbage. Now, at age 30 and with the benefit of hindsight, I'm still very angry at having been forced to read this garbage.It's funny that most in academia would turn their nose up at making, say, a Stephen King book required reading (just using an arbitrary/contemporary example)-- yet on his worst day, King could still write character with far more depth than any in this.I barely remember the plot, so at best you can say this book is forgettable, but I do recall every single page being painful to get through. Made "A Separate Peace" almost good by comparison.
Is the review positive or negative?
