What a wonderful tribute to Caribous that you are now training your new dog. I hope you will continue to find the experience to be as fulfilling as your first outing.

LOVE this book and have reread it many times since high school. My son read it for high school about two years ago and also loved it. We had really in depth discussions about this one.

Oh my gosh, Piggy! I cried and cried! The movie version is also excellent too. I loved this book and think you did an excellent job with the review.

This is one of my “challenge” books. I first heard about it in school, but I have never made an effort to read it because some of the contents which I believe the book contains turned me off. It’s time to visit it now.

I was first introduced to this book in high school and it had a strong impact on me. I’ve reread it several times, but it’s been years since the last visit. I wonder what I’ll notice different on my next read? it’s definitely a very powerful book.

I first read this in middle school and really, really loved it. It really struck me then. Rereading it as an adult a few years ago was an interesting experience, because I was far more horrified than I was as a child. It was more difficult to read, especially when young boys of my own. Still a brilliant novel, but I stomached it better as a kid.

I was going to use the exact words as Teresa to describe the film…chilling…only I saw the 1990 version.

I read this in high school too, and my memory of it is quite vivid (which is not true of a lot of books I read back then). I liked it very much back then but haven’t felt much of an urge to revisit it. Your review makes me wonder, though, if there’s more that I’d pick up as an adult.

Just a few years ago, I did revisit the black and white film, which I hated in high school, and found it absolutely chilling.

I read this in high school too. I’m sure my memory’s not so hot either.
