*Read this in summer of 2001* 
 Omg. Can't believe I found this. I remember the horror of being assigned this book for summer reading & having to write a paper on it. More than half of this book was crammed with tedious Philosophical religious jargon that my 9th grade mind couldn't process or understand. I felt I was being given a crash coarse on the Christian bible, which for me had no place in this book. If it focused more on the 'what does it mean to be human?' aspect of the book, I probably could have related to it more.
