Those who like this book like it a lot; one Goodreads contributor writes, “I absolutely fell in love with this book. Head over heels. I bought my own copy because I couldn’t stand that the rest of the class was reading it SO SLOWLY, and for years afterward I re-read that book until the spine broke and pages went missing.”
Barnes and Noble offers a copy.
