As a part of my AP lit course i plan to take this year, it was required that we read this in order to take the class and guarantee our seat frot hat year. Well, I wasted two days reading this book and I can appreciate that it may be some masterpiece.....but to who? Certainly not to me. I found the book boring and the main character's life was so unrealistic..i wanted 2 puke..its ok to make it exciting..but come on.... too much is too much
