Am I the only one who has never read or even heard of this book?

Is it a book generally read for school?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I think so. We don't read it in my school, but I think most other schools do.

I guess a lot of schools must, because a lot of people on here seem to know about it.

Yeah.

I've heard of it but I've never read it.

Ive never heard or read it either, you are not alone

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I haven't either, but that might be because they read it a lot in American schools and I'm an Aussie.

If you honestly can laugh during that book, you have no soul.

I laugh throughout the entire book, its disappointing the mom didn't win.

I couldn't sleep well for weeks after I read it, and I didn't even finish it.

Wow you must be really messed up. There is nothing funny whatsoever in that book.

I plan on using bits and pieces of the book in my stand-up comedian career. Everybody knows that child abuse is funny.

That scene where his dad catches him shitting everywhere and is like

made me laugh forever.

I've read that, but not for school. Anyway, how could you say that? I cried so much I was dehydrated the next day. I was reading it at the mall (big mistake!) and I was waiting for my mom to finish shopping (that took a while). So, there I was crying my eyes out at the bit were his mom makes him drink some chemicals or something and the waiter asked me if I'm lost, I replied that I was reading a book. He saw the book cover and gave me a free chocolate cookie. That cheered me up for like, 3 seconds, until I continued reading it.

I really, highly doubt it's a required read for schools. It's a little too graphic. I read it and I have to agree with everyone else, so fucking depressing.
