My View: Too dense to be particularly enjoyable as "fun reading," but exciting nonetheless. I didn't really understand it and it was the only book I skipped reviewing for the AP test, but I ended up using it for the test essay. It's chock full of obscure literary devices and soaked in political and social thought, so it's very useful for essays.
