- tiddleyboom : Read it. Loved it..Monkey. : Read it. Disliked.amanda4242: Read it twice and hated it twice.JalenV: Had to read it for High School and hated it.

Loved it.MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.
