SOOOOO BORING
It has a good storyline but takes far to long to reach anything of interest. My grade 10 English class was expected to read it, it was horrible.
Schoolgirl

Rather poor
As a year 8 pupil I was given this book to read in English. The first 3/4 chapters were full of boring babble. Description is good in novels but this takes it too far. I also found it inappropriate and vulgar to be written for young adults. I found it overall thoroughly poor.

Worst book ever
I do not understand what all the fuss is about - it is the worst book it has ever been my misfortune to read.
