the book is nothing but a democratic self centered view of life. i could care less about reading a book with a cry-baby wining about his life. this is the type of action that drags this country into the black hole of depression. if a book moves a person and it does not have the words holy bible on the front of it, it shows how lost the person it “moved” really is.

Ahhh! I /hated/ this book! I had to read it for school and I didn’t even finish it. Please, /never/ buy this book. It is like the plague, and should be avoided as such! *Shivers* It gives me the shivers to even think about it.

Incessant whining and complaining are all that comprise this book. I cannot for the life of me understand why it is such a well-loved novel, or how it even came close to being considered a classic! I had to read this in high school and I HATED every moment of it. To this day, every time I hear the title I cringe. I think this book should be forever banned from the list of “Classic, Must-Read Literature”.

What in the world are you doing? Why are you reading this book. If you knew the history of this book, you lot would not be reading it at all. If you do some research into the book, you would find that Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, etc, (all assasins) were found to have this book on their person when they were caught. It is thought that this book it the code name behind the CIA MK-ULTRA program (from 1952 – 78). I would never read it.
