Riveting. I was completely engrossed and destroyed by this story. I needed it to be over and never wanted it to stop. Knowing this is one of the most banned books, I want everyone I know to read it. While I felt like some of the plot was predictable, I think that it was intentionally written to be this way - building anticipation and fear in the readers.
