I tried to search this, but didn't get anything.
At my school it's required reading. You either read it Sophmore or Senior year, and I ended up reading it this year. I just hope it's not one of those books that constantly reminds me of the current war. Have any of your read this? Thoughts? Comments? |

I read it this year, and I'm a junior.
I thought it was a pretty good book. Some parts of it were pretty graphic, like when O'Brien describes the man he killed. My class discussed the grand narratives that O'Brien presents and challenges. It was interesting. It's one of my favorite books that I've read for school. |
