|
recommended for: New teachers who don't read many real, big-person books
read in July, 2008

my rating:
|

|
read in June, 2008

my rating:
|
||
|
recommended for: Everyone
read in March, 2008
Jonbrammer said:
"This book is very teachable to high school students; it's a candy-coated pill to introduce broad and bleak themes about the human condition, and while there certainly are a lot of mid-20th century Britishisms in the dialogue, most American teenagers ...more
