Some thought it was the best book ever written, and some thought it was the worst book ever written... and they were all correct!

Read the book through, I dare you.

It is very good. Possibly not the best ever written. There is no way it could be considered the worst book ever written.

Is it possible you got this book confused with Tale of Two Cities?

In my high school AP English class we had to and it was not that bad for a forced assignment.
