Comments: I was hesitant going into this book because of everyone saying how amazing it is, but I discovered that I really enjoyed it. It is extremely well written and the plot is amazing.

Classify: Well, it is a pretty easy, and it's pretty short. Its only about 290 pages too.

Worth Reading?: Oh, my goodness, yes. It is a classic and defiantly worth reading!!!

Did I find this book particularly easy or difficult?: The southern words take a little while to get used to, but other than that, it is an easy read.

Would I read this again?: I would defiantly read it again, but my grandmother has my copy right now.

How long did it take me to finish?: With limited time to read, I think it took me about a week to read, but it would take much less time to read if I had more time.
