This. I read it for english class in high school, and like every book I had to read in high school I think it blows because of having to overanalyze it. But it is considered a classic (even though it's such a new book), so maybe it's good.

I liked it. Then again it was 9th grade english so we didnt have to do anything except read it. The part with the weird island is some sketchy shit.

I loved it.  I enjoy reading though, and its a great book for discussion.  I highly recommend it, and am suprised by everyone else's response, to each their own though.

This.

I read it over the summer between grade 10 and 11 I think. And then in English 12 we had to read it and do all the analysis.

I liked it both times, and I got more out of it the second time through, probably because we did a crash course in different religions before we read it and it had a ton of symbolism in it.

I will more than likely read it again sometime in the future, it's an excellent book.
