This wasn't bad, but I did drag my feet trying to read it for class.
wofiasco's review against another edition
I read this book as extra credit for my AP Lit class. Ultimately, I didn't really enjoy the book. I felt that it was hard to get through and that the dialogue was confusing. The questions we were originally given to go along as the extra credit, didn't help me to understand the book and therefore further turned me from enjoying it.
All that being said, what I did enjoy about this book was the message. It's incredibly moving and goes to discuss heavy topics or race, death, and self-status in an incredible way.
