i started to read it last year cuz my mom made me, (im homeschooled)
it was ok, i thought it was kinda boring, but i didnt get very far into it when my sister (who goes to a public school)
had t o read it for her history class, when that happenned my mom somehow forgot about it so i didnt read very much,
maybe it gets better as it goes on, like i said i only read like the first chapter, maybe ill read more this year?
