It's a decent book, but not anything great, you fuckin' Soc. *NM* LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 24/10/2010 12:00:12 AM
I'm aware of at least one book written by a kid that is seriously, honestly a good book (which would be "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton). But then, it may also be the only book written by a kid that I've read.

I'm very surprised about the Chekhov... not his plays, but other works, then? *NM* Legolas - 24/10/2010 01:49:24 AM 823 Views
