kattrent's review against another edition

5.0

I forgot how much this hurts to read.
It is amazing, and this edition updates some of the text to make it more appealing to younger audiences, but that did not get rid of the heart, soul, and lesson of the novel. I am glad I read this again, but boy does it hurt.
