What Members Thought
I read this book in high school and absolutely hated it with a passion. Which is strange, because I also read Of Mice and Men and East of Eden in high school, and they were two of my favorite books. I might give this another attempt some day to see if my maturity level improves my experience of it. What I remember in high school was that I thought it was overly wordy, boring, and pedantic. There was an entire chapter about a turtle! Why?!

A moving tale of poverty and desperation. It makes you appreciate how lucky we are.
