terrible. couldnt get through the first 30 pages. dont even try to read this thing

I am currently reading this book in my World Literature class. My friends were "forced" to read it before me and 95% of them despied it because of it's "monotony" and "sarcasam". I have not yet found monotony, however they were quite correct: he is extremely sarcastic. I like his writing style and his admiration and love for his mother. This book shows that any person, no matter their background, can come out on top and be sucessful. It also gives hope to all the women who are in abusive relationships that one day you may be able to escape it. Even though i am still in the process of reading I think this book is wonderful!

i think that this book was really bad because he whined throughout the whole book about how bad his life was when he could of done something about it. he made the situation worse than it actually was. i mean he had a car unlike most teenagers he was good at sports he just didnt take advantage of his opportunities

It wasn't that good of a book to me. I'm pretty sure that there were a lot of people in the South that had it much worse than he did. He didn't say nothing about the people of color that were beaten, killed, hanged, raped. I guess those people didn't have it hard.

this book is sooooo boring!! no one should reaqd it ever!!!

dont read this book, it's so incredibly dull. Honestly, this is by far the worst book I have read in a long time.

this was an absolutely horrible book...it was the most boring thing i have ever read and no1 should ever read it

This book was awful! I would not recomend this book to any one at any age because it is boring. It can not hold your attention, and the book can't stay on one subject. what made it so hard to follow was that he jumps from past to present. Our whole high school is forced to read this over the summer and no one has said any thing good about it. I don't know how our school and little town could want to read this book that kind of stuff doesn't happen around here. NO ONE CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!
