Being a senior in High School, I guess "Charming Billy" wasn't the best book for me to read. My attention span could not last while reading the endless pages of boring babble. The plot to this book was on the right track and it had potential to be a classic novel. Yet, there was no action to attract me, and my mind started to wonder. Not only was it very boring, I found that the introduction of so many characters that had insignificant roles to the plot was overall confusing. Maybe my dislike for this book was due in part to my age. I don't belive this is a good read for a teenager, but might reccomend it to adults.
