Normally I would not have gone near this book! But after having to read a book for school I went for it. Boy am I glad I did! This book is now one of my all time favourite books. Its so vivid and plausible! I also see that it's being made into a movie, which will be something to look forward to.i have been making my poor friends read it, They all love it. People of all ages can enjoy this wonderful book, Give it a go, even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea, you won't regret it.
