This book really made me think of what a world without rules would be. 

This book had me in its hold from the first page. I found it hard to put down. Even though this book contains violence there is a bigger picture to it which I liked. 

This book had a lot to it, you had to look deep to find it but once you did everything fell into place. 

This book is probably one that I will think about for some time. It was a very well written book and a good book to start off with if you are new to classics.

i read this book for school and found it very unrelatable. it has a lot of harmful stereotypes and is more description than plot.
