Even with how this book is, it still shows a good coming of age story about a country boy, even if some of the saying and story as a whole has aged quite a bit.

emilyreadsthings's review against another edition

DNF Explanation: I'm just not interested in the plot. I wanted to read this because I already owned the book (my brother read it) and it's a classic, but life's too short to read books that don't interest you.
