Although I originally purchased this book to challenge some of my middle school students, it took me three months to get a copy into my classroom. After I read it twice, I passed it to a friend. It was taking too long to make the circuit, so I bought another to take to class, but offered it to a fellow teacher on the way in to the building. You can see where this is going, right? After purchasing three copies, I finally landed one in the classroom- for one class period. Then it was gone, making the circuit of the kids. As far as I have been able to determine, the 26 or 27 people I've loaned it to have all read it completely, most have read it completely twice, and all have found it well worth their time. The audience has ranged from 13 year old football stars to retirees, with clergy, and a few teachers, and a lawyer in between. This is for anyone who reads books, deeply or superficially. Get one, or, better yet, two.
