This book is extremely hard to understand, it doesn't grab a persons attention much. It's very long and boring to read, it's not interesting at all

This book is absolutely terrible. I started it in the beginning of the summer and have been avoiding the thought of it ever since. Just opening the book and looking at it depresses me, because I know reading it will only last a good 5 minutes until I get too confused and discouraged and inevitably give up for the day. As if that wasn't enough, there aren't even ANY clif notes out there! All I need is something to break the book down for me. Oh well...only a couple of days for me to read this book now, so I suppose I should attempt to once again. Wish me luck...because I have yet to finish Jane Eyre either.

ellis' style of writing can be too analytical for younger hs students. i was often confused while reading each 40 page chapter because it is too easy to get caught up in the overload of background information, and over analyzing. i found that i had only read 10 pages within an hour of trying to concentrate. but other than the difficulty of trying to follow the initial story/situation after 30 pages of background information, it was not all that bad. then again-i still have 70 more pages to go.

Its a hard to read book and its extreamly boreing. Each Chapters try to tie you in with a creative storey but then puts you to sleep with the next 30 pages of analyzation of analyzation of each event. I have put this book off all summer now i have less then 48 hours to read it and it probalbly won't get done.
