The Misfits

I really enjoyed this book although I thought that I would not like it when I first picked it up. It just did not seem like a book that I would be interested in and it was definately not a book that I would have chosen for myself, so in that sense I am grateful that we were required to read this book. This book opened my eyes to a lot of the things that go on in the middle and high school years that I never had to deal with personally. I was never really picked on or bullied in school and im sure that this had a lot to do with the fact that I went to school with all of my cousins so therefore I did not have to venture out much to try and make friends. Although none of this stuff happened to me personally, I did know people that things like this happened to and I found myself inserting those people and their faces in for the characters. I found this book to be really easy to relate to and I think that students would enjoy this book, even if they had not had any experiences like the ones in the story.
