I actually read this in first year when I was 12-ish. The class had to read Harry Potter but I'm a Christian so I, of course, could NOT read that. I absolutely refused to peer into that garbage called a book. No affence to you Harry Potter fans. So, anyway, my English teacher had to get something for me to do. And I'm the kinda person that has to make everything difficult. So she gives me this book. I read it... I didn't understand it very well because I was a dumb idiot who couldn't read a thing at 12. But look at me now. I'm stringing sentences together like they're...never mind. If I were to read it over again at the age I am now; I know it would make more sense.
