I was forced to read this book for school and I found it to be quite a bore. The book seemed to go on forever and never end. I was simply happy when I passed the picture section of my book. Over all I did not enjoy reading this book and wonder how it can be a classic and yet so unenjoyable for many students. It was more a painstaking process to read than anything else. I can not recommend this book to read unless you wish to be very bored.
