    So far I have read the beginning of this book and I have really enjoyed it. I really like how the book is told in 1st person point of view, because it really helps to understand what Lily is going through. As she is only 14 and has to live with her mean father it's quite upsetting. Her mother died when she was only 4, so she lives with her dad and has ties with her housekeeper Rosaleen.

I don't get why people would ban this book.

I love the movie, but I'm just not sure about whether or not I should just go ahead and read it. I've heard alot of mixed reviews about it, some say its too long and not worth it and others say its amazing.
