im in 9th grade and the book sucked so bad it wasnt even funny
jk i loved it
I am a freshman this year and we read this story in class. So mysterious and captivating!
I’m a freshman and this is one of the best short stories ever.
freshman year at edmond santa fe, gotta read this book
not bad but kinda creepy
this reminds me of the movie The Pest
my friend and i have a project due on this story and both hate reading
wait… did rainsford kill him at the end??
You’re going to have to listen again to the ending to figure that out 🙂
i am a teacher and i have to teach this stupid book
Davis – Ha! Well, hopefully the audio version of it shows it in a different light. What are the teachable moments in the story? The risks associated with getting stranded on a desert island and fighting off dogs with clever traps?
– Fred
this book sucks i hate it its a wast of time like all books are
Speedy – hopefully your teacher doesn’t come across this comment, ouch. I guess someone has failed to inspire you to love books and learning. Trust us, it’s the best stuff ever. Tell us what you like in movies, tv, etc. and we will hook you up with some good books.
– Fred
you suck
who does
boring story
Sorry you didn’t like it Adriana! There are plenty of other stories on our website… Maybe try one of those?
– Fred
I was reading this book in class and i found it very interesting:)
this is awesome
why is this book so DAMN long , For no reason … All freshmans have to read this book . so far that i know
“I am still a beast at bay.”
One of the best short stories about our animal nature. It’s sad to see the youth so apathetic about reading – and the educators so careless about exploring the symbolism and meaning of this great novella. If you like this book read heart of darkness. These works speak volumes about human nature.
i like this book a lil bit
real good book must read
my dick turned into a vagina like catilyn jenner because of this story. I guess you can call me dequesha now instead of dequan
Badass Book like hardcore as fuckin’ hell!!
bkjbjb jlkbjb jk bkj k trash
I wish they would read a bit more than just dialogue, but other than that it was awesome.
