In Country Book

Fucking finally finished this piece of shit.

Ok, so I read this for class and I legitimately don't understand what is so great about this book. The writing style is annoying and sort of choppy. I didn't like Sam, I didn't care about Emmett, and I think just because you don't have sex with a minor (but only because you can't get a hardon) doesn't make me like you. The only person I could stand was Irene, her mother, and that is probably because she was only in it for about five minutes. Am I missing something? I personally think this book is a piece of crap, and yet it's being taught in schools. Usually, when I read something for school, even if I don't like it I can appreciate the idea of it, or the writing, or fucking something! I don't know what other people see in this, but I am going to stand by my original statement and say this book sucks monkey nuts.
