This book is one of the worst I've ever read. I was forced to read it for American History, and I regret every second that I had to read it. It felt like someone was pushing nails under my fingernails for every word I read. My favorite part of the book was the end, when I could finally stop hearing about Johnny Tremain. I hope all these whiny little characters have a slow, painful death, so they know how I felt as I read it.
