What can I say about this one that has not been said before? My mother language is not English, I was given this in English school and this is the book that convinced me I had to learn this darn language. This is the highest compliment I can give. I just can't believe they let Americans read this in High School.

What can I say I just didnt get it .I bought it last year because people always talk about it but there was nothing there for me I can listen to any old one moan about what they hate on the bus or at work so why bother with a book of swomeone moaning.

i have also read it, and was rather under whelmed by it, my expectations were just too high i think. Not sure how it is a classic, what makes it so good? I'm couldn't answer that.
