Have to agree here. The lead character whined his way through the book, making it tedious. I never bothered finishing the book, despite it being part of the curriculum. Quite frenkly, the book was one of the reasons why I stopped caring about high school English classes - same old same old with the dullest so-called literature and absolutely nothing related to the direction I was heading (science/engineering).
Maybe if the class is an elective and the book is mentioned as part of the curriculum, but not part of a mandatory course.
