i've read it twice. it's at about a 4th grade level.
it's a book that you either hate or love...there's no in between. people, mainly educators, are very divided on it.
for me, i didn't like it. i thought it was good up until the end, which i didn't like. i definitely won't pay money to see the movie but i guess i'd watch it when it comes out on video.
