I actually like the book, and the movie. Good piece of literature, only thing I hated was my English 1 Honors teacher freshman year made us "dissect" the book. Literally chapter by chapter of whats going on, what does the author mean etc. /facepalm '

Other then that I like the book

We're reading that book now :\
& off-topic, i <3 your sig.

I know mate, but look at all the book reviews here

i loved this book

I read this about 6-7 years ago.

Even had to watch the movie.

It was alright.

I read the book but I've never seen the movie. I think I read it during the first semester of last year, it was an alright book but it wasn't my favorite. It was easy to remember for the tests and stuff though, I liked Of Mice and Men as well as The Joy Luck Club, even if it was about cranky old ladies.
