Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book for my daughter. Her 8th grade Pre A.P. Literature class was reading it and the teacher encouraged us to buy our own copy. Well, when we got it, the page numbers did not match with the older version the teacher had. So, her reading assignments did not match and she had to use a copy from school. I feel like I wasted $11. My daughter also did not like the uneven "torn" edges of the pages. She said it made it difficult to turn the pages.
