This book is the literary equivalent of the color beige. The writing style is dull and makes it hard to understand who's talking or what any of the characters are doing. The plot is sort of random, as if the author had randomly thrown it together at the last second. It's also very racist and misogynistic which probably was okay at the time, but isn't now. All in all, I would not recommend this book to anyone. The only reason I read it was that it was required for 10th grade English.
