This is a book I had been meaning to read for a while, it’s good, entertaining, and left me thinking about the plot when I put it down. I can see why it’s such a classic in schools, but I think I read it a little too late. The writing style reflects the narrator, but I couldn’t help thinking that it might have not been entirely deliberate, seeing as Hinton was 17 when she wrote it.
