Hellequin Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I didn't like it the first (and only) time I read it, but then again I was forced to for school and overall I'm not a fan of all the description the book gives. I'll probably read it again someday though. Maybe this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 This was one of the books on my 10th grade Independent Reading list. I never bought it yet, unfortunately. I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sondance Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I have to say I loved the book. My favorite parts in the book was when the boys where fighting. Great book every one should read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Read it at school for GCSEs. Absolutely despised it. It was a great idea as something to write about, but I just didn't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not particularly impressive in premise nor execution. Clings to symbolism like a drowning man to a life raft. In short: Average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've read better, but hated how teachers think it's a one of a kind master piece. The plot was good it was the characters I felt were meh at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Apollo~ Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I remember this book from 8th grade . Yeah it's a truly eye-opening book about human tendencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gospel. Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 All I can say is: "Mama Mia! Mama Mia! Mama Mia let me gooo. Beelzebub has a devil set aside for meeee for meee for meeeeeeeeeee!" I had to do a report on it. Whenever I do a report on a book, I wind up despising it. I'll stick to my Dibert comic compilation thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Actually, about 2 minutes ago, I chose this book as my reading material for this Unit. Hope its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Read it in my english class. Safe to say, everyone (Even my teacher) hated that book. It had a good overall idea, but it put me to sleep unlike the Kite Runner I read before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickiMinaj Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 This book. Ohh this book. I never had to read it, I was recommended too, by fellow scholars who dabble in English like I. Now I'm training to be an English teacher myself... so here's my point of view on this book. I will say this though. I read it without being forced to read it, but on my own time and of my own will... Disgusting. The author has no skill in writing. His use of diction was bored and lagger, and he had no authority over his characters. He allowed them to do nonsense and illogical crap. This book is less interesting than the flavor text on Normal Monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypoThermus Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 [quote name='Cōyōté Stárrk' timestamp='1294269633' post='4914254'] Personally, I thought it was great.

I presume you started this thread with the expectation of people to make a remark as 'one of the greatest books you've read'... yet you're hardly doing it any justice. You say you thought it was "great". Okay, so what [i]was[/i] great about it? What did you find [i]boring[/i] about it? I'd also ask the same from the rest of you. Virtally all of you just say something along the lines of; 'Teacher made me read it. Don't like it... 'nuff said.' If you really intend to bother talking about something like a book, or a poem, or a movie, etc. even if you didn't like it: [b]explain![/b] Otherwise, it just barely stands as even a comment on the subject.

Ririku Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 This was a very intense book. It helped me reinforce my misanthropy because of how terrible most human beings are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
