I read it in my junior year of high school. I found the book interesting. It is famous for several reasons after all. It's difficult to pick out all of the symbolism though.


Some of the symbolism in it is absurd but not all of it.

I also read it in HS and thought it was one of the best books assigned. It was difficult in the beginning, but a lot of "classics" are like that.

Yeah that's true. I thought the same about To Kill a Mockingbird. It was hard in the beginning, but it's overall one of my favorite books.

I didn't care for it too much, personally.
