I just could not understand how quick they regressed to primitive living.
It was heavy reading and I do not think I actually read the whole book.

I think you're thinking of Lord of the Flies. I absolutely hated reading that one as well.don-deb-puck wrote:The book I most disliked reading at school was in matriculation it was called "Lord of the Rings", it was about two groups of children and how they adapted to living on a island.

Wow, that's very young to have been given to read. I cannot imagine anyone understanding the themes in it until later high school.

- Latest Review: "Granny's Stories" by Margaret Henderson
When I was homeschooled in elementary school, my mom told me I couldn't read any other book until I finished Mara, Daughter of the Nile. I never finished it, but I had to read in secret under my cover at night for nearly a year before my mom forgot that she had banned all other books until that one was finished.

I recently read The Old Man and the Sea, which is a book commonly found in school, although I can't remember if our school taught it. I really loved it, but then again I'm 25 years old and I've already read many hundreds of books, studied writing craft, and written my own stories. Would I have loved it when I was a teenager and if it was forced on me? Definitely not. The books they have kids read in high school are dumb choices and overwhelmingly books that would be better served by being read later in life.
