I read this book in high school and at that time I enjoyed it. Not exactly sure if being a Reader's Digest version has anything to do with it or if I happen to have a slight lapse of memory, but this book does not seem as graphically detailed as the one I remember reading inb HS. I enjoy re-reading some books and this is one that I will certainly read again. A fun read.
