Another I had to read this in middle school book. I would rather read this than Lord of the Flies so I guess the book has that going for it. I don't know why whenever a book was assigned as a read for English my brain turned off. There are so many other better books that could have been used instead. I don't know why books like this take me longer to read than 1000 page epic fantasy books. I could read Lord of the Rings in its entirety faster than I could read this book because my brain just doesn't want to.
