    Waste of money because it was marked up and crossed out

    The book was written on on every page, red pen circles cross outs and it was basically unreadable for my daughters AP English class. We wasted our money.

    A challenge for someone who likes to read.

    This is a classic; fantastic writing, but very complex. I read it and am not sure what was going on.
