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
