Loved: Huckleberry Finn Didn't love: Call of the Wild London never did much for me at all either. My problem with Call of the Wild is that about half way through London gets too wound up in trying to prove a point about nature and forgets to keep the book entertaining.

Liked: The first Harry Potter book (It was on our 8th grade summer reading list, from which we could choose two books).

Loved: The Iliad/The Odyssey, Julius Caesar, Canterbury Tales - specifically the Knight's Tale (although I liked it better in college - the professor was very knowledgeable about medieval English literature) Hated: Great Expectations (still don't like most Dickens), Great Gatsby

Foremost, I really read mystery and military tales when I was that age, so a social drama just didn't do much for me. Also, I felt like most of the characters weren't really likable and were just symbols of different ideals and/or non-ideals of the era. I really didn't feel much for Daisy and Gatsby. This is coming from that one weird kid that actually liked Heart of Darkness.

This was just about 25 years ago. I never resisted the book. My wife loves it. She has a copy of it and she has the DVD of the Redford version of the film.
