    <body><![CDATA[It took me a while to get into this book. The dialect slowed me down and while I knew it was funny intellectually, I didn't laugh much while reading it. However, in retrospect, many of the scenes and images have really stayed with me. There is a lot of action that would appeal to young readers.
