It's our freshman-to-be summer reading assignment and I just want to know what people think of it. I've only read about 80 pages, does it get any better?

that's funny.. im going into 10th and honors english classes have to read that.. im in L1 for english though. if you want i can ask my friends that have to read it how it is.. other then that i'm not sure.. sorry

No problem. That's alright. I'm just curious to know if it does get more interesting. Thanks anyway!

I know, it's getting redundant that no one's read this book, but I heard it's really good. And it wouldn't be really good if it was boring, would it? Just keep reading. The first few chapters of a few books I've read were horrible, but the book turned out to be awesome. Sorry if I wasn't helping.

I've read the book and I liked it. As you read though, you can see the that's it's really ironic towards the ending. It's really good and the ending isn't disappointing either. I agree that the beginning is slow, but it has to go through all that to make sense in the end.

my friend has to read that.

i gotta read fahrenheit 451 and silas marner

and silas marner sucks balls.

seriouslly.

thank the lord for cliffs notes.

i hated that book because it wus so boring so i didn't even bother to read it all

yupp, a lot more stuff does happen. i recommend that you read it along with sparknotes as a guide, in order to pick up on some of the symbolism and themes. however, make sure not to read ahead with sparknotes-- it spoils the ending and everything.

I read it in 4th grade and I loved it. But.. it isn't a required book for us or anything.

Woa.. I have to read that for Freshman year too. My frends says it gets better towards the end...But it's pretty boring rite now.

That was a very good book. I'd read it again.

great book even though i hate reading...my teacher made it a great book haha making us read a few chapters each week so we were forced but it was pretty good

I watched the movie. It gets better, eventually.

oh dear. i read this in the eighth grade and thought it was quite horrid, but then i really really read it and it's pretty good.

No, my cousin is reading it for freshman summer reading as well. I'm not even sure if she finished. [She started when school let out and has other books to read as well] She says it really bores her, haha, she's pretty far though.

Rofl I did that last year in seventh grade... I liked the book! It is very classic, its like an original drama.. It talks about deceit, jealousy, love, and the power of rich people. it is an excellent book.

omg. i did. and it was so mind boggling boring in some parts.

but you need to read it. it's very insightful.

I'm going to try reading it soon because soem people told me it was pretty good, but i'm gonna have to use sparknotes like every ten seconds >.<

yep, my school requires it for all freshman. if your in honors you have to read it over the summer

really i thoguht the bo0k was pteey great actually.. lots of irony.. i hated the ending.. but i loved it
