Required reading for my AP English class in 12th grade. Of the 5 or 6 that we had to read that year, I remember that this was one that I liked more. However, 7 years later, I can't recall much of the storyline - guess it didn't leave much of an impact.

I probably should not even rate this… I listened to the whole thing but had a hard time paying attention for whatever reason. Too much going on this week. I wish I had read this in school. Maybe I’ll return to it one day.

You know how certain sentences make you angry because they’re so beautiful and you know you’ll never write anything that good? That’s most of this book.
