1.0
I had to read this for school, and I didn't even really finish it because to be honest. I got really bored with it after a while. And I felt like it just dragged on for FOREVER! And I had like so many other things that I was reading at the time that I read it the first time, and other things to focus on that this didn't really grab my attention.
I'm not saying it's horrible and that you shouldn't read it, but I'm saying for me it was boring and not my style. I can't read historical fiction either... or MOST realistic fiction. Even though I can write them quite well... I feel like the whole "We have to read books that deal with racism cuz it's bad" thing is a little old. I mean yes, it is bad, and yes we should reinforce it every so often but after a while most of us tend to get the point...
I feel like people are going to yell at me for saying that but really I don't mean it isn't important I just mean that not ALL of us are horrible to people and the world is NOT going to end if we skip a year of racial tolerance reinforcement in English class.
So that is what I think made me not like this book as much. Maybe if I read it again I will like it better but as of right now, it wasn't my favorite....
