I had to read this book when I was in the sixth grade, back in 1994/95. I was expecting to love it. When I read it, I couldn't stand it. Thinking back to my days in elementary, middle, high school, college, and graduate school, it was the book I hated reading the most and to this day, I can remember that book and feel irritated. I usually like fantasy and science fiction, such as Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but this was a poorly written mess. The characters were awful, the story was idiotic, and the vocabulary in the story made it difficult to follow. I recently found out that the story was rejected 40 times before it was finally published. Looking back, I'm not surprised. I got a B on the test on the book, and then I was finished with it. Well, thats not exactly true. My friend and I played baseball with the book until we tore it in half and threw it down the drain on my street, then took turns peeing on it. Yeah, I rule, biotch!
