I put it up on the Teen Lit Review site.
Let’s just say I’m glad I bought it used.
I wasn’t massively disturbed by it this time (as I was as child), but overall it seemed to me a very experimental book, and not one that was very useful to me.
Yes, I’m that mercenary now. If a story doesn’t sweep me off my feet or model amazing *something* I’m on to the next pretty quick. More thoughts on the book are on my 2009 books page if you’re curious about that sort of thing.
I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one massively disturbed by it as a child. I HATED that book when I had to read it in school in 4th grade and I’ve never picked it up again. Nor have I read any of Engle’s other works.
