I spent one year studying it for English when I was, oh, 14? 15? To be honest, while I admired the way it was executed, I found it a very hard book to like precisely because of the themes it tackled. Strangely enough, though, I actually found myself more drawn into the plight of the secondary characters, i.e. the parents. Perhaps I'm just a strange child like that.
