Also a set text at my hateful school. The scene with Piggy falling onto the rock burned itself into my imagination, but otherwise it wasnt a great read for me.
I think that was the same year we were asked round the class if we wanted to read a particular famous John Steinbeck classic or that blasted Catcher. But I had never heard of the Steinbeck title, so I picked it and was a bit taken aback to discover it wasn't in fact about the founders of a German pottery.
And then they made us read Catcher anyway.
