Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Worse book I ever had to read
I pity the fool who has to read this book for school.It truly is a horrible book.Even my teacher, who is passionate about nearly everything he teaches, admits that he hates the book.
Rating:  - Dark, meaningful, and dare I say sexy?
I think this is one of my favorites from high school English or whenever I read the thing, and I agree that it is a classic full of excellent imagery, strong characters, and of course all that symbolism we all love to hate.
But outside the annoying intellectual stuff, this is just a great story that fills that spot craving good drama. Call it a soap-opera problem--only this keeps the craziness in check and lets the characters, all of them, guide their own stories.

Rating: - Great Book!!
This is required reading for my 16 yr old son...book arrived quickly & in great shape!Very Pleased!
Rating: - ugh
Why do books such as this keep being required reading in high schools?Havent there been any authors in more recent time that would provide students more relevancy?Obviously this appeals to those who are truly literature lovers--and that's fantastic.But for most kids, give them something they'll enjoy reading and maybe they'll learn to love literature more.Books like this just antagonize and demoralize those who are not naturally literature lovers.
Rating: - Classic
I agree with just about everything that has been said about this book. It is a classic and I love it. I'm going into 10th grade and I read it to get ahead in school. I found that once I started I could not set this book down.
