The writing made it extremely hard to understand for me. That basically killed in me any desire to ever read a book. It wasn&#39;t until I was in my late teens that I&#39;d pick up a book (Ender&#39;s Game) and read it for enjoyment. Alhamdulilah. &#xA;&#xA;It&#39;s like the school system was purposely designed to kill the child&#39;s motivation for reading.&#xA;&#xA;One of the main reasons why I homeschool my kids.
