This is a Starters book not for amateur. All the negative reviews are by people who are pro-readers. I have this book for more than 5 years. I always give this book to people who want to start hobby of reading books. First its a short and small book with less pages so the person doesnt feel like I cant complete the book.
Second it has ups and downs of real life so somewhere many relate to themselves. You can tell beginner to start with Booker winner THE WHITE TIGER the person will than even stop reading newspapers. Ha Ha Ha
