This is the edition that we had to read in school for AP Literature so we've read it together and Les loves this book and I really don't care for it.

You would think that a book about tornado chasing would be interesting and this book is not particularly long, but it was horribly boring most of the time. He spends way too much time talking about all of the different people that are involved and not so much about the exciting stuff so I couldn't keep track of who anybody was and I frankly didn't care.
I like Girlfriend in a Coma by him and I do still have that book on my shelves
Now that I think about the premise of this book it's kind of creepy to me that some dude kind of like, you know, got into this school and pretended to be 16 or 17 and he was actually 24. I don't remember there being any sort of explicit relationship things or anything like that was definitely illegal, but it's still creepy to have somebody like that like knowingly do it and report on it so I just kind of feel uncomfortable about this book now.
I don't really remember that much other than feeling like it was very weird, like there's always- there's always funky stuff going on on the pages, which is kind of fun for me to read. I enjoy reading books like that, but at the same time I don't really care about this story and I certainly don't need to keep on my shelves.
I had already read Jane Eyre at this point, in high school, so I knew I liked Charlotte Brontë's writing so I wanted to try her sisters
It really wasn't that good. I have read Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code, obviously. This is the third book in the Robert Langdon series and those ones were way stronger than this one was.
I remember almost nothing from the book and when I look at it I just kind of go: meh. Like, there's no feelings that really come back there. It definitely didn't stick with me.
We buddy read it together and neither of us was particularly impressed and I have really no desire to continue with the series. This is just not something that appeals to me and maybe it would have 10 years ago, but it definitely doesn't now
It's the way it's written is... I kind of like it but I kind of don't and the font is very tiny so... but I also kinda know the story, like I'm aware of what's going on.
