I am ten years old and in fourth grade and my teacher made us read this book. It was AWFUL, it was boring my entire class thought the same, I HATED the choice of words like it was a brusque sky or the man had eyes like silver pools I could not pay attention while my teacher read this to us and I can't read it alone so I used audiobook because I was out sick and had to catch up on the reading this book SUCKS I do not recommend .
"unless you hate your life and want to die from boredom, DON'T READ THIS BOOK!"
