I started and finished this book in 6 hours. Now why did it take us like 2 weeks to read it in high school? That's how you know high school is an evil place! Insufferable institution!
Great book, though. I'm glad I reread it.
But I had to take away points for use of the n word. Like damn even if it's not from our main character, it's very disappointing the author wrote that in.
